Ju Nesbø, Norwegian writer and leading representative of Nordic noir, never ceases to amaze. Breaking stereotypes, disregarding the rules of the genre, he shows a person as frankly as if we were looking in the mirror ourselves, afraid to admit to ourselves: it's me. "There is and will be no censorship in my head," Nesbø asserts. He never reveals his plans in advance, and until recently it was only known that the writer is working on two collections of short prose. The first includes seven crime stories, united by the theme of jealousy: feelings ancient, strong, painful, beyond the control of the will, changing human nature. Two meet on an airplane. She tells him that she wanted to die because of her husband's infidelity and signed a contract with a company staging suicides. If the woman knew who was sitting in the seat next to her.... A tourist has gone missing on a Greek island, and a detective with the unique ability to recognize jealousy when questioned is called in to investigate... Suspicion falls on the missing man's brother, and this Cain and Abel motif echoes the plot of Nesbø's latest novel, The Kingdom. Jealousy is disguised as a thirst for justice, drives you crazy, poisons your life and changes it for the better only when the rival manages to literally and figuratively remove. Among Nesbø's characters there are both cynics and simpletons, but they always act unpredictably - even for themselves, because human logic is powerless before the green-eyed monster.
