Description: SONNY’S ON THE RUN
Sonny is a model prisoner. He listens to the confessions of other inmates, and absolves them of their sins.
HE’S BEEN LIED TO HIS WHOLE LIFE
But then one prisoner’s confession changes everything. He knows something about Sonny’s disgraced father.
SONNY WANTS REVENGE
He needs to break out of prison and make those responsible pay for their crimes.
WHATEVER THE COST
The brand new thriller from no 1 bestselling crime author, Jo Nesbo, which sees a charismatic young prisoner breaking out of jail to find out the truth about his father's death and seek revenge on those who lied to him.
We are introduced to Sonny, a modern day sin-eater if you will, and he listens and absolves fellow inmates for the price of a block of heroin. This standalone is an eye-scorching read, rich is story and action. A must for any Nesbø fan.
The Son has already been optioned by Warner Brothers, while the Martin Scorsese film of The Snowman is in production and the adaptation of Headhunters was Bafta-nominated.
