It was also announced in October 2013 that Warner Brothers had bought the rights to Blood on Snow and planned to make a screen adaptation, to be produced by and possibly starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Usually, he “fixes” people – Jo Nesbø’s new novel opens as he stands over a man he’s shot in the chest and neck, blood dripping on to the snow. Some doubt has been expressed as to the red snow observed by Sir John Ross and his associates in the newly discovered arctic region; but when it is known that the iron which was also found there, lying on the surface, in heaps, and in considerable quantities, was all meteoric, the doubt will cease, and the fact will admit of an easy solution.

The Evening Post had said that if the cold carried on like this until New Year, 1977 would be the coldest year since the war, and that we’d remember it as the start of the new ice age scientists had been predicting for a while.He is our straightforward, calm-in-the-face-of-crisis narrator with a storyteller’s hypnotic knack for fantasy. Here, at altitudes of 10,000 to 12,000 feet (3,000–3,600m), the temperature is cold throughout the year, and so the snow has lingered from winter storms.

Noiry and pulpy: Nesbø’s gorgeously rendered images of snow, and of the titular blood on snow … are crying out to be filmed.Junkies only have themselves to blame, and in my opinion people should pay for their mistakes, plain and simple.

She was better at looking after other people than herself, and I suppose I saw that as a kind of ideal back then. Things don’t exactly play out according to plan, and Olav’s situation rapidly deteriorates until he finds himself part of a joyfully cinematic shoot-out in an Oslo crypt.After three years military service he attended business school and formed the band Di Derre (‘Them There’). Which is kind of stupid if you’re going to sell drugs or collect debts – that ought to be pretty obvious.

And then you get the fuck out of there, come what may, with a couple of bullets in the side or whatever – you just have to get away, to the only thing that can save you. Nesbø revels in his knowing cliche of the tortured criminal soul, in Olav’s apparent slowness but secret brilliance. Captain John Ross noticed crimson snow that streaked the white cliffs like streams of blood as they were rounding Cape York on the northwest coast of Greenland. The series is a political thriller which envisages what would happen if Norway were to be invaded by Russia to seize the nation's oil resources. And, according to that Hume guy, the fact that I had until now woken up every morning in the same body, into the same world, where what had happened had actually happened, was no guarantee that the same thing would happen again tomorrow morning.He doesn’t really want to say yes to his boss Hoffman but once he knows what the gig is, there’s no way out of it.
