A spectacular standalone thriller about an ambitious art thief and a heist gone wrong, from the #1 bestselling author Jo Nesbo.
Clever, wealthy and married to a beautiful gallery owner, Roger Brown has it all. And when his job as Norway's most successful corporate headhunter gets dull, he can always find the risk he craves with his sideline as a highly accomplished art thief.
     At a gallery opening, his wife introduces him to Clas Greve. Ambitious and talented, Greve's not only the perfect candidate for a top job Brown needs to fill, but also owns a priceless Rubens painting—making him the perfect target for a heist.
    But soon Roger finds out that there's more to Greve than meets the eye, and it's not long before the hunter becomes the hunted . . .

      Starred review from August 8, 2011
      Nesbø takes a break from his Harry Hole detective series (The Snowman, etc.) with this stellar stand-alone caper. Roger Brown, a British ex-pat comfortably ensconced in Oslo, has developed a reputation as one of the best corporate headhunters in the business, but money problems lead him to use information he gleans from job applicants about valuable art they own. Brown arranges to steal their art works and replace them with clever fakes. When Clas Greve, the former CEO of a major European GPS company, lets slip that he accidentally discovered a long-lost Rubens painting in the apartment he inherited from his aunt, Brown anticipates making his biggest score. Of course, the heist doesn’t go smoothly, and the dizzying reversals of fortune and situations that would be over-the-top in lesser hands make for a delightful roller-coaster ride. Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard fans will be delighted.
