Résumé

When Roy and Carl's parents die suddenly, sixteen-year-old Roy is left as protector to his impulsive younger brother. But when Carl decides to travel the world in search of his fortune, Roy stays behind in their sleepy village, satisfied with his peaceful life as a mechanic. Some years later, Carl returns with his charismatic new wife, Shannon — an architect. They are full of exciting plans to build a spa hotel on their family land.
Carl wants not only to make the brothers rich but the rest of the village, too. It's only a matter of time before what begins as a jubilant homecoming sparks off a series of events that threatens to derail everything Roy holds dear, as long-buried family secrets begin to rise to the surface... The Kingdom is a simmering thriller full of unexpected twists, devastating family legacies and an ever growing body count.

À propos de l'auteur

Jo Nesbo

Biographie de Jo Nesbo

Jo Nesbo is one of the world's bestselling crime writers, with multiple books including The Son, Macbeth and Knife topping the Sunday Times bestseller charts. He's an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 50 languages, selling over 45 million copies around the world. Before becoming a crime writer, Nesbo played football for Norway's premier league team Molde, but his dream was dashed when he tore ligaments in his knee at the age of eighteen.
After three years' military service he attended business school and formed the band Di Derre ('Them There'). They topped the charts in Norway, but Nesbo continued working as a financial analyst, crunching numbers during the day and gigging at night. When commissioned by a publisher to write a memoir about life on the road with his band, he instead came up with the plot for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat.
Robert Ferguson has lived in Norway since 1983. His translations include Norwegian Wood by Lars Mytting, the four books of Torkil Demhaug's Oslo Quartet, and Tales of Love and Loss by Knut Hamsun. He is also the author of several biographies, a Viking history and, most recently, The Cabin in the Mountains : A Norwegian Odyssey.
