![]() ![]() Roger’s ambition to get the pièce de résistance of stolen art turns into a Fargo-in-Oslo type debacle, with plenty of black humor and plot twists. His beautiful wife Diana requires quite a bit of money to keep her happy, and he has worked out a good way to take care of the problem. For Roger also has a side business, which is art theft.

He then subjects each prospect to the FBI’s nine-step interrogation techniques developed by Inbau, Reid and Buckley. ![]() He is obsessed with his height, or lack thereof, at 5’5”, and so always insists that a good candidate must first of all be a tall one. Roger Brown, age 35, is a corporate headhunter who is considered to be the best in his field. (But once it takes off, it really flies!) It doesn’t really take off, however, until after the somewhat boring initial set-up section. Jo Nesbo has written a standalone crime novel, eminently suited for a movie directed and produced by the Coen Brothers. Note: Jim and I co-wrote this review, and each gave it different ratings. ![]()
