TWO BROTHERS. A SMALL HOTEL EMPIRE. A ROLLERCOASTER. The second part of The Kingdom, one of the great literary thrillers of recent years, is here. A feast for the 60 million readers of Jo Nesbø, winner of the 2024 Pepe Carvalho Award. «It once again confirms who the king of thrillers is», Financial Times
«Undoubtedly his best novel», Juan Gómez-Jurado
«Turns the reader into a subject», Alicia Giménez Bartlett
«The master of the modern thriller», Santiago Díaz
«Pure literary adrenaline», Domingo Villar
«A special book in every sense», Stephen King Brothers Carl and Roy Opgard have, so to speak, succeeded in life. Or at least they have done so starting from the slim possibilities offered by a small town like Os. Carl runs the opulent spa, while Roy remains in charge of the gas station and dreams of a grand amusement park, with a gigantic rollercoaster, the largest wooden one in the world. However, when the state revives plans to build a new highway in the region, drastic actions will be necessary if they want to save their future projects. Meanwhile, the sheriff of Os is about to uncover new evidence proving the Opgard brothers' guilt in several past crimes. Fortunately, Carl and Roy don't mind getting their hands dirty to safeguard the town's prosperity or their family name. They will stop at nothing and no one, not even to defend themselves from each other... especially Roy, who likes to use metaphors related to his dreamed-of rollercoaster: «It's too late to get off, it's already moving». «The king of the noir novel».--Dagsavisen ENGLISH DESCRIPTION TWO BROTHERS.

Finally, the sequel to The Kingdom, one of the great literary thrillers of recent times by the winner of the 2024 Pepe Carvalho Award. Jo Nesbø's 60 million fans will rejoice. Carl and Roy Opgard have succeeded in life. Or at least, by the standards of a small town like Os. Carl runs the upscale spa and Roy is in charge of the gas station, although he dreams of opening a spectacular amusement park with the world's biggest wooden rollercoaster as its centerpiece. When the state revives its plans to build a new highway through the region, the brothers must take decisive action to defend their future projects. And in the meantime, the local sheriff has new evidence pointing to their guilt in several past crimes. Fortunately, Carl and Roy don't mind getting their hands dirty to protect the town's prosperity and their family name. No one and nothing can deter them, not even each other ... especially Roy, who is fond of metaphors recalling his planned rollercoaster: "The ride has already started; it's too late to get off."
