Headhunters by Jo Nesbo
Headhunters is a gripping, more than twisting — wrenching — tale about a corporate headhunter cum art thief who picks the wrong mark. It is an essential Scandinavian crime fiction novel from one of its true masters at the peak of their powers. Plus, the chase scene is downright unshakable.
