Sinopse

Filled with dark feelings, sick minds and vengeful hearts, The Jealous Man brings together breathtaking tales from Jo Nesbø, Scandinavian crime master and bestselling author of The Snowman .

A Greek detective who, thanks to painful lessons from the past, has become an expert in jealousy-related crimes is on the trail of a man accused of murdering his own twin brother. In Norway, a taxi driver finds an earring belonging to his wife in his boss's car and decides to do everything he can to find out how it got there. A woman on a plane to London is about to take her own life after discovering her husband is having an affair. But who is the man sitting next to her? And what curious connection is this between the two?

Meanwhile, in a dystopian city in the United States, the country's economic elite wait to be evacuated from a skyscraper while the masses struggle to survive on the streets below. In Spain, two best friends are on their way to the running of the bulls in Pamplona when they fall in love with the same woman. And in an Italy dominated by business cartels, a man works two jobs: psychologist, hypnosis specialist, and hitman.

The short story that gives the book its title, “The Jealous Man,” has had the rights acquired for a film adaptation starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Shailene Woodley, and Richard Madden.

In this, his first collection of short stories, Jo Nesbø makes his readers face the inevitable unfolding of the strongest—and most terrible—human feelings.

“Jo Nesbø is one of the world's best thriller writers.” Daily Express

“In his first collection of short stories, Jo Nesbø, author of the bestselling Inspector Harry Hole series, displays the key ingredients that set his novels apart from others: diabolically constructed plots in which glimpses of the most human feelings of flawed characters are constantly at risk of being snuffed out by the darkness within.” - Booklist

“The twelve short stories in this impressive collection from bestselling author Jo Nesbø blend tense suspense with well-developed characters.” - Publishers Weekly

“Jo Nesbø is one of the most talented writers working today.” - Bookreporter

“Not for the faint of heart.” - The Millions
