New in crime fiction: The latest mysteries and thrillers

Headhunters By Jo Nesbo, Translated by Don Bartlett, Random House, 265 pages, $19.95 If you thought Scandinavian crime fiction couldn’t get better than Steig Larson and Henning Mankell, you’re wrong.. Norway’s Jo Nesbo is better than either and this book is far and away his finest. Already a best-selling film in Europe and just sold for a U.S. version, Headhunters is smart, skillful, perfectly cast and full of twists that will keep you spinning. Nesbo has given his stalwart Oslo cop Harry Hole a rest. The headhunter is Roger Brown, the most successful in Norway. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books-and-media/new-in-crime-fiction-the-latest-mysteries-and-thrillers/article556963/

Laying back down, he rubbed his eyes, trying to identify what had woken him. Glancing to his side he saw Sarah, her eyes closed, hair gently spread across the pillow under her head. He jumped when he heard a noise, coming from outside his room. Throwing the blanket off his legs, he swung them over the side, grabbing his sleeping pants off of the floor.
