The Redeemer

Harry Hole returns in a pulse-pounding thriller like no other.

'This book had my pulse in the red zone from start to finish' Michael Connelly

A freezing December night

Christmas shoppers have gathered to listen to a Salvation Army carol concert. Then a shot rings out and one of the singers falls to the floor, dead.

A blood-curdling terror

Detective Harry Hole and his team are called in to investigate but have little to work with - there is no immediate suspect, no weapon and no motive. But when the assassin discovers he's shot the wrong man, Harry finds his troubles have only just begun.

Now the clock is ticking before he kills again

*JO NESBO HAS SOLD OVER 55 MILLION BOOKS WORLDWIDE*

*Watch out for KILLING MOON, the new Jo Nesbo book, out now*

Nesbo is in a class of his own

Terrific shocks, tension and atmosphere

—— The Times

Nesbo's fourth novel [and it] proves to be as brilliant as his other three...grimly realistic...an engrossing mystery

—— The Scotsman

Even when you're positive that the mystery is entirely done and dusted, it invariably turns out that the pragmatic Detective Harry Hole has managed to stay three steps ahead and there's more to uncover

publication of a new Nesbo is a cause for celebration...deserves to be considered as one of the very best crime novels of the year

—— The Times

Enthralling, breathtaking, and propulsive, MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW is the kind of book that only comes around once every decade. With hypnotic, shimmering prose set against a masterful plot, Katie Gutierrez has crafted an explosive modern classic--a groundbreaking, razor-sharp exploration of what it means to be a woman in all its complexity, as well as a deep dive into the morally gray areas of the double lives we all lead. Equal parts literary tour de force and domestic suspense, with a sweeping, sprawling narrative, More Than You'll Ever Know is poised to become the buzziest book of the year

—— May Cobb, author of The Hunting Wives

Such a great story . . . with a sense of time and place in America and Mexico

—— Bobby Pryor , BBC Radio 2 Book Club

I love this book more than Dolores "Lore" Rivera loves both her families and now you have to read this book to understand what I mean

—— CrimeReads

Every book here does something new and exciting within the genre, managing to tackle big, weighty themes while also being exceptionally readable . . . An unapologetic, unflinching examination of love, sacrifice and desire

—— Grace Li, Sunday Times bestselling author of Portrait of a Thief , Washington Post

As addictive as a real-life who-dunnit, with thoughtful attention to the ethical implications of the true crime genre, More Than You'll Ever Know explores how we entangle ourselves one choice at a time, and what it costs to unravel the damage. Crystalline and multi-faceted, this is a page-turner brimming with empathy, a window into 1980s Mexico City and Laredo, and the ways community both bouys and pulls us under. Katie Gutierrez is a force, and she writes fabulously complicated, fully-realized characters who will linger with you long after the final page

—— Julia Fine, author of The Upstairs House and What Should Be Wild

It's difficult to believe that this masterful novel is a first book. Katie Gutierrez handles its dangerous turns like a Formula One driver. That elegance, darkness, even fear are deftly intertwined in the story make it a wonderful read. More books, please

—— Luis Alberto Urrea

I really enjoyed this book . . . A warning against self-deception . . . Appeals to people who enjoy domestic noir

—— Ann Cleeves , BBC Radio 2 Book Club

An electrifying debut

—— Woman's Own

Doesn't read like a debut . . . Everybody should be picking this book up

—— BBC Radio 2 Book Club

With thrilling, atmospheric prose set against an intricate plot, Katie Gutierrez's debut More Than You'll Ever Know is both a suspenseful mystery, a family drama, and an astute examination of motherhood, love, and secrets. I read this morally complex novel ravenously, desperate to discover the fates of the two women at its center. You won't be able to put this book down

—— Lara Prescott, New York Times bestselling author of The Secrets We Kept

With beautifully written prose and razor-sharp insight, Katie Gutierrez draws us into More Than You'll Ever Know's gripping and complex world. Even as the dual storylines left me breathless, I found myself more captivated by Gutierrez's intimate and compassionate portrayal of these women, their men, and the many secrets they kept. Passionate, supremely intelligent, and thrilling

—— Jean Kwok, New York Times bestselling author of Searching for Sylvie Lee

A complex portrait of marriage and desire, a thought-provoking exploration of motherhood, and a fascinating look at our collective obsession with true crime . . . Combining domestic drama, crime, slow-burn psychological mystery and a touch of historical fiction, More Than You'll Ever Know is a true page-turner
