Ulf has one small problem—his former boss, Oslo's most notorious drug kingpin, wants him dead.

He was once the kingpin's fixer, but after betraying him, Ulf is now the one his former boss wants fixed. Hiding out at the end of the line in northern Norway, Ulf lives among the locals. A mother and son befriend him, and their companionship stirs something deep in him that he thought was long dead. As he awaits the inevitable arrival of his murderous pursuers, he questions if redemption is at all possible or if, as he's always believed, “hope is a real bastard.”

Jo Nesbo

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jo Nesbo is one of the world’s bestselling crime writers, with The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son and his latest Harry Hole novel, The Thirst, all topping the Sunday Times bestseller charts. He's an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 50 languages, selling over 33 million copies around the world.

Before becoming a crime writer, Nesbo played football for Norway’s premier league team Molde, but his dream of playing professionally for Spurs was dashed when he tore ligaments in his knee at the age of eighteen. After three years military service he attended business school and formed the band Di derre ('Them There'). They topped the charts in Norway, but Nesbo continued working as a financial analyst, crunching numbers during the day and gigging at night. When commissioned by a publisher to write a memoir about life on the road with his band, he instead came up with the plot for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat.

Jo Nesbo proved once again...he is a superb writer and story teller. Is there a Blood on Snow1? If so, I must read it.

he's a bad guy with a good streak and a conscience

Reviewed in Australia on 18 November 2015

Midnight Sun is the second book in Jo Nesbo's Blood on Snow series.

What ties these two together is The Fisherman, crime kingpin of Oslo. Jon worked for The Fisherman selling drugs and other 'special' jobs as needed. Except Jon couldn't do it - he couldn't kill. So now he's run to a remote village at the top of Norway where the sun never sets. And he took along drugs and money that weren't his to take - and The Fisherman wants it back....

A local woman, Lea, and her son Knut, give Jon shelter in an old hunting cabin. But after a few days of the sun never setting, the flat unending landscape and being alone in the small cabin, he craves people - and alcohol. So he heads to the village....

Nesbo's description of the village and the landscape creates an sense of otherworldly isolation that mirrors what Jon is feeling. The eclectic residents and their behavior keeps both Jon and the reader wondering what could happen next.

Even though Jon, aka Ulf, is a 'bad' guy, he's a bad guy with a good streak and a conscience. The reader can't help but hope that he escapes those after him and that maybe, just maybe, he's got another shot at a good life. Sami culture and the Laestadian religion are woven into the story - redemption is a major theme and plays a part in more than one character's life.

I love the noir, staccato pace of Nesbo's writing - think of a Tarantino movie put to print. For me, another great read from Nesbo. Read an excerpt of Midnight Sun.

(I have no idea if Nesbo will ever resurrect Harry Hole - but I do miss him.)

Intimate Nesbø

Reviewed in Spain on 27 March 2019

If you look for Harry (Hole), this time you can forget it... "Midnight Sun" is a very personal, I would dare say very intimate new novel by Jo Nesbø. Placed in the very North of Norway, tell us a story of a man who tries to escape the Oslo narko mob. There is the eternal summer light, the constant insecurity of waiting for the "bad guys" to come and fix the accounts, and finally, the love story that hopefully will turn eternal as well. Written in a very different style, that other novels by Jo Nesbø, shows us the beauty of the landscape and the culture of Finnmark, the land of Sami people connecting Norway, Sweden, and Rusia.

A quality read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 April 2019

Interesting and thoroughly entertaining from first to last page. Well written descriptive with excellent characterization throughout. Clever intriguing with a real feel and sense for its surroundings, you feel the sense of despair and self loathing of our hero if that's the right term for him, and his awakening to the hope of a new life with a future.This

A Stunningly Gorgeous Story

Reviewed in the United States on 8 March 2016

“Midnight Sun” by Jo Nesbo is an unexpectedly lovely story. Hardly present (except on the periphery of this tale) is the typical Nesbo impressive narrative of wretched human behavior. Instead the reader finds a lyrical, poetic love story with just enough Nesbo terror, set in the farthest Northern reaches of Norway, where it arches over the topmost territories of Sweden and Finland to touch Russia. In this bleak setting lies the story of 35 year-old Jon Hansen who is on the run from his sordid past and those who are looking to kill him. He invents a new name – Ulf.

The sun never sets in summer in this land of the midnight sun. 10 year-old Knut’s star shines brightly though on every page in which he appears; he is a crucial element in the story. Lea (Knut’s mom) revives her heretofore tragic young life. Without finding much solace in their severe, bare-bones version of Christianity, Ulf (Jon) feels hope for the first time – ever -- in the presence of the Sami people. Can there possibly be a happy ending?

“Life is about trying things you can’t do. You end up losing more often than you win,” instructs Jon (Ulf) to Knut while covering the basics of Sumo wrestling as they wait for the fish they just caught to cook over an open fire (at about 59% on Kindle). The unforgiving terrain is described as “reticent relentlessness” (at about 69%). Earlier, as Jon (Ulf) reflected upon his life-long dismal decision-making, he mused, “Is there a level below idiot?” (at about 48%). Pathos, humor and fine characterizations abound.

Thus, with his usual florescent, pitch-perfect writing, Jo Nesbo has turned out a beautiful, tight novella. Every word on each of its 218 pages is just right. The translation by Neil Smith is flawless. Touching, gorgeous passages abound. I didn’t want it to end. Is Jo Nesbo the best modern-day European writer? I think quite probably yes.

It’s a 5, through and through.
