Hollywood has taken to Nesbø and then some. Olava hit man, or fixernarrates this thin standalone from Nesb (The Son) set in 1970s Oslo.

He sees himself as a person with one motivation…to avenge his father.” With Sonny out from behind bars, bad things happen to bad people, but all for a good cause. When Sonny finds out from another prisoner that his father was set up, all hell - and Sonny - break loose. Against this familiar Nesbø backdrop, Sonny Loftus - in the quiet desperation that came in the wake of his policeman father’s confession of corruption and suicide - becomes a professional scapegoat, exchanging confessions to, and receiving prison sentences for, murders he did not commit for a steady stream of heroin, to which he’s addicted. This month, Nesbø will publish a novel called The Son, about a man whose revenge on those who led his father into corruption also serves as a redemption of his father’s sins. The familiar characters of Hole’s Police Murder Squad may be MIA, but the seamy underbelly of Oslo, redolent of hypocrisy and top-to-bottom corruption, is just as nasty as ever.
