‘Suspenseful…original…I couldn’t put it down’ Stephen King
Two brothers. Bound by blood... And a lifetime of secrets.
When Roy and Carl's parents die suddenly, sixteen-year-old Roy is left as protector to his impulsive younger brother. But when Carl decides to travel the world in search of his fortune, Roy stays behind in their sleepy village, satisfied with his peaceful life as a mechanic.
Years later, Carl returns with his charismatic new wife, Shannon - an architect - full of exciting plans to build a hotel on their family land. But it's only a matter of time before what begins as a jubilant homecoming sparks off a series of events that threaten to derail everything Roy holds dear and family loyalty is stretched to violent ends.

I read THE KINGDOM and couldn't put it down...suspenseful...original...this one is special in every way. * Stephen King *
Jo Nesbo remains the king of Scandicrime. * Financial Times *
Superbly written and magnificently chilling * Sunday Mirror *
This being Nesbo there is plenty of deception, death and partial decapitation to come. No Harry Hole this time, but still a sombre delight. There are shades of a Nordic Ripley, or maybe Virginia Andrews on aquavit. Choose your poison * The Times *
The Kingdom is a stunning novel from a storyteller with few equals -- Jon Coates * UK Press Syndication *
