*DETECTIVE HOLE IS SOON TO BE A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES*

Harry is on a special mission.

Detective Harry Hole arrives in a steaming hot Bangkok. The Norwegian ambassador has been found dead in a seedy motel room, and Harry has been sent to investigate. It's clear that the Ambassador's family are hiding some secrets of their own, but few people are willing to talk.

He needs to solve a crime and avoid a scandal.

When Harry lays hands on some incriminating CCTV footage, things only get more complicated. The man who gave him the tape goes missing, and Harry realises that failing to solve a murder case is by no means the only danger that faces the unwary.

But in an unfamiliar city, who can you trust?

Critic Reviews

If you’ve never read any Jo Nesbo, now is the perfect time to check out his excellent Harry Hole series
As with the Australian setting of The Bat, Hole's first outing, we're again terra incognita (Asia here); Cockroaches, organised with greater concentration than its predecessor, turns out to be one of Nesbo's most accomplished novels
Set to be another sure-fire hit
You'll be utterly enthralled
Beguiling as ever... An absolute treat (Deirdre O'Brien)
Cockroaches will thrill Harry Hole addicts. It's classic fast-paced, edge-of-the-seat style
Shows how far Nesbo has honed his skills (Mark Sanderson)
It's fun to see Nesbo finding his feet with Hole...and he weaves a large cast and a complex plot into a satisfying plunge into a filthy south-east Asian underbelly, ripe to bursting with corruption, exploitation and cruelty
Avoiding a scandal is supposed to be Hole’s first priority but, of course, our favourite dyspeptic detective discovers more than anyone bargained for (Siobhan Murphy)
Another gem from the Norwegian author
