Especially for the launch of the gift book The Jealousy Man, bestselling author Jo Nesbø comes over from Norway to meet his Dutch fans. Between 1 – 10 November you receive the special edition of Nesbø’s The Jealousy Man (De jaloezieman, translated by Annelies de Vroom), if you spend 15 euros or more at a bookstore. The initiative with this special gift book marks the start of the gift campaign ‘Give more with a book’ of the CPNB foundation.

About The Jealousy Man On the small Greek island of Kalymnos near Kos, a German tourist disappears without a trace after going for an early-morning swim in the sea. Witnesses state that the man was fighting with his twin brother the night before his disappearance. The local police is puzzled; there is no body, and no trace of foul play. They still have their suspicions about the case and request the help of inspector Nikos Balli. He is known as the jealousy man and specialized in solving murders in which jealousy appears to be the main motive. Nikos flies to Kalymnos and interrogates Franz Schmid, the brother of the missing Julian. The men have come to the island to climb, a sport the inspector is very familiar with. Nikos is enthralled by the mystery. What went wrong between the brothers? And why does it remind him so strongly of a dark secret in his own life?

Jo Nesbø is Norway’s most successful thriller author. His work was published in over fifty countries, was awarded many times and the film rights for several books have been sold. He sold over 45 million copies worldwide. Nesbø wrote the world-famous Harry Hole series, various standalone thrillers and the children’s book series Doctor Proctor. His thriller Knife (2019) was selected by The Times as one of the top 10 thrillers of the past decade. At the end of May his latest thriller The Kingdom was published, which has been featured in the Dutch Bestseller 60 ever since.
