Phantom by Jo Nesbo

Like mysteries and crime stories?  Don't miss Phantom by Jo Nesbo.  He's done it again, a wonderfully gritty, well crafted mystery with terrible bad guys and a troubled but lovable detective.  This time he's taking on the international drug trade, the Russian mob and addiction in its most flagrant form. 

Nesbo is a lot of fun to read, but not for the faint of heart.  I've reviewed his work before: check out The Snowman and The Leopard here.  This, his newest installment of the Harry Hole series is just as good.  I always give his books to my husband who is a Nesbo convert.  He devours them in about 48 hours and then passes them on.  Whether you are in need of a gritty and gruesome Norway mind vacation or a chance to flex your deduction muscles, you won't be disappointed.
