*DETECTIVE HOLE IS SOON TO BE A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES*

Harry is on a special mission.

Detective Harry Hole arrives in a steaming hot Bangkok. The Norwegian ambassador has been found dead in a seedy motel room, and Harry has been sent to investigate. It's clear that the Ambassador's family are hiding some secrets of their own, but few people are willing to talk.

He needs to solve a crime and avoid a scandal.

When Harry lays hands on some incriminating CCTV footage, things only get more complicated. The man who gave him the tape goes missing, and Harry realises that failing to solve a murder case is by no means the only danger that faces the unwary.

But in an unfamiliar city, who can you trust?

Critics Review

  • If you’ve never read any Jo Nesbo, now is the perfect time to check out his excellent Harry Hole series

    Essentials

  • As with the Australian setting of The Bat, Hole's first outing, we're again terra incognita (Asia here); Cockroaches, organised with greater concentration than its predecessor, turns out to be one of Nesbo's most accomplished novels

    Financial Times

  • Set to be another sure-fire hit

    Sun

  • You'll be utterly enthralled

    Shortlist

  • Beguiling as ever... An absolute treat

    Sunday Mirror

  • Cockroaches will thrill Harry Hole addicts. It's classic fast-paced, edge-of-the-seat style

    UK Press Syndication

  • Shows how far Nesbo has honed his skills

    Evening Standard

  • It's fun to see Nesbo finding his feet with Hole...and he weaves a large cast and a complex plot into a satisfying plunge into a filthy south-east Asian underbelly, ripe to bursting with corruption, exploitation and cruelty

    Metro

  • Avoiding a scandal is supposed to be Hole’s first priority but, of course, our favourite dyspeptic detective discovers more than anyone bargained for

    Metro

  • Another gem from the Norwegian author
