The Son - Tapa blanda

"An expertly plotted, compelling and gripping white-knuckle ride... Nesbo deserves to be crowned the king of all crime thriller writers" Sunday Express "A cat-and-mouse chase between a young prisoner and a troubled detective, this is a tense, violent and hugely absorbing walk on the murky side of Oslo" Sunday Mirror "Nesbo never fails to deliver a cracking narrative - and this is one of his best" Mail on Sunday "An excellent novelist... Nesbo paints an intricate, disturbing picture of rampant corruption within prison and the police service... The strong action is tempered by tenderness" -- Marcel Berlins The Times "Gripping from start to finish" -- John Williams Mail on Sunday

Sonny is a model prisoner. He listens to the confessions of other inmates at Oslo jail, and absolves them of their sins. Some people even whisper that sonny is serving time for someone else: that he doesn't just listen, he confesses to their crimes.
