Jo Nesbo was born in Norway 1960. He is an author and musician, but it has not always been like that. He grew up in a city named Molde, where he spent most of his time playing football. He grew up with the dream to become a professional player for Tottenham Hotspur FC in England. Unfortunately he suffered some very bad injuries in both hs knees and had to retire from football at a very young age.

Nesbo did not become a pro footballer, but he moved on with studies and graduated from Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration with a degree in Economics. After that he started working as freelance journalist, stockbroker and musician, and later moved on to writing books.

Nesbo is a multi talented guy who had great success in everything he do. As a songwriter and musician he have done very good in his home country. He made one album where he went solo, and 5 albums with the band Di Derre. As an author his books have been translated into almost 40 different languages.

Harry Hole series.

Nesbo started out writing about Harry Hole, a tough detective working to solve crimes on the streets of Oslo. He takes on murderers, bank robbers, gangsters and the establishment. The series about Harry Hole is the best known and most sold books from the author.

Doctor Proctor series.

Follows the story of Doctor Proctor, a crazy professor who is waiting for his big break, his next-door neighbor Lise and her peculiar friend Bulle. The ruthless twins Truls and Trym Thrane sometime lurk in the background. This series is reminiscent of Roald Dahl’s books. It deals with the «importance of being who you are and the ability of human creativity and imagination to give you the courage to do so».

Nesbo have also written two stand alone novels, a documentary and collection of short stories in one book.

I would give the advice to try out the books from this great author.
