An explosive stand-alone thriller about family, loyalty, and the lengths people will go to cling on to power, from the Sunday Times number one bestselling author Jo Nesbo.

FAMILY COMES FIRST. NO MATTER THE COST.

'A 100% buy-today-read-tonight delight' - LEE CHILD

'Bracingly and bleakly funny' - Telegraph

Brothers Carl and Roy Opgard have succeeded in life. Or at least they've had as much success as is possible in a small town like Os, where they've killed their way to the top. Carl manages the swanky spa hotel, while Roy has made ambitious plans for an amusement park.

Life's good at the top. But the local sheriff is looking to bring them down.

Sheriff Kurt Olsen believes he has new evidence that will prove the brothers' involvement in several past murders - but Carl and Roy are used to covering their tracks, and they're not afraid to get their hands dirty.

The body count in Os is about to get even higher.

Blood Ties is an explosive suspense novel about family, loyalty, and the lengths someone is willing to go to for both, from crime writing's king of the cliffhanger.

His books The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son, The Thirst, Macbeth and Knife have all since topped the Sunday Times charts. He's an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 51 languages, selling over 60 million copies around the world. Robert Ferguson (Translator) Robert Ferguson has lived in Norway since 1983. His translations include Norwegian Wood by Lars Mytting, the four novels in Torkil Damhaug's Oslo Crime Files series, and Tales of Love and Loss by Knut Hamsun. He is the author of several biographies, a Viking history and, most recently, Norway's War. A people's struggle against Nazi tyranny.
