The Kingdom
Two brothers. One kingdom. Countless secrets
Local native Carl Opgard and his Barbadian wife Shannon return from abroad to a remote village in the Norwegian mountains, bringing with them a proposal to build a luxury wellness hotel. His brother Roy, who runs a gas station in the village, looking forward to it, that in a small farm, where they both grew up after their parents died, will finally be more alive. But Carl also brings with him big problems, and as always he relies on his older sibling to solve them for him. But will Roy do what his brother asks him to do, especially when it starts to become clear what Carl has been keeping from him?
They wrote about the book:
For all readers and mystery lovers looking for a slightly darker hero than Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot.
- Time
Nesbo brilliantly uses the insularity of Roy's inner and outer worlds to emphasise the Shakespearean inevitability of impending tragedy.
