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.

And catching him calls for a detective like no other. But the legendary Harry Hole is gone.

He’ll need to bring together a misfit team of former operatives to do what he can’t do alone: stop an unstoppable killer.

But as the evidence mounts, it becomes clear that there is more to this case than meets the eye…
