TRAS CONQUISTAR A 50 MILLONES DE LECTORES, REGRESA EL REY DE LA NOVELA NEGRA CON UN THRILLER LITERARIO MONUMENTAL En lo alto de una montaña, en los páramos de Noruega, hay un viejo caserón habitado por un hombre solitario. Se llama Roy, es experto en pájaros, lleva la gasolinera del pueblo y en cada casa corre un rumor sobre él. Su vida gris se reabre con la vuelta de Carl, su hermano pequeño. No se ven desde que se fue a estudiar a Estados Unidos hace quince años, tras la muerte trágica de sus padres en un accidente de coche. El hijo pródigo trae consigo a su flamante esposa, Shannon, una enigmática arquitecta: han ideado un plan para construir un gran hotel en los antiguos terrenos familiares y podrÃan hacerse ricos, no solo ellos sino además los vecinos de la zona. Sin embargo, pronto llegan también los malos presagios. Porque es difÃcil reinventarse en una comunidad pequeña donde todos se conocen, y a los habitantes del lugar les costará olvidar ciertos episodios del pasado. Sobre todo, al agente Olsen, hijo del antiguo alguacil, que desapareció tiempo atrás en extrañas circunstancias. El reino es un thriller gigantesco, adictivo y complejo, que retrata como ningún libro de Nesb las pasiones humanas, y que ha sido considerado inmediatamente por la crÃtica una obra maestra. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
I read The Kingdom and couldn't put it down ... Suspenseful ... Original ... This one is special in every way. --Stephen King A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER OF THE YEAR Two brothers. One small town. A lifetime of dark secrets. A tense and atmospheric standalone thriller from best-selling author Jo Nesb . Roy has never left the quiet mountain town he grew up in, unlike his little brother Carl who couldn't wait to get out and escape his troubled past. Just like everyone else in town, Roy believed Carl was gone for good. But Carl has big plans for his hometown. And when he returns with a mysterious new wife and a business opportunity that seems too good to be true, simmering tensions begin to surface and unexplained deaths in the town's past come under new scrutiny. Soon powerful players set their sights on taking the brothers down by exposing their role in the town's sordid history. But Roy and Carl are survivors, and no strangers to violence. Roy has always protected his younger brother. As the body count rises, though, Roy's loyalty to family is tested. And then Roy finds himself inextricably drawn to Carl's wife, Shannon, an attraction that will have devastating consequences. Roy's world is coming apart and soon there will be no turning back. He'll be forced to choose between his own flesh and blood and a future he had never dared to believe possible.
