**An EXPLOSIVE thriller from the #1 bestselling author of the Harry Hole series
Over 60 MILLION copies sold worldwide from the undisputed king of the cliffhanger
The newest book from global crime writing phenomenon JO NESBO**


This is a story about brothers. It's a story about what you'd do for them. It's a story about who you'd kill for them. Because family comes first. No matter the cost.

Nesbo deserves to be crowned the king of all crime thriller writers' Sunday Express


Brothers Carl and Roy Opgard have succeeded in life. Or at least they’ve had as much success as is possible in a small town like Os, where they've killed their way to the top. Carl manages the swanky spa hotel, while Roy has made ambitious plans for an amusement park.

Life’s good at the top. But the local sheriff is looking to bring them down.

Sheriff Kurt Olsen believes he has new evidence that will prove the brothers’ involvement in several past murders – but Carl and Roy are used to covering their tracks, and they're not afraid to get their hands dirty.

The body count in Os is about to get even higher.

Blood Ties is an explosive suspense novel about family, loyalty, and the lengths someone is willing to go to for both, from crime writing's king of the cliffhanger.
