Jo Nesbø, Norwegian writer and leading exponent of northern film noir, never ceases to amaze. Breaking stereotypes, ignoring the rules of the genre, he shows a person so frankly, as if we ourselves were looking in the mirror, afraid to admit to ourselves: it's me. “There is and will not be any censorship in my head,” says Nesbø. He never reveals his plans in advance, and until recently it was only known that the writer was working on two collections of short prose. The first of them included seven criminal stories united by the theme of jealousy: feelings of the ancient, strong, painful, not subject to the will, changing human nature. The two meet on the plane. She says that she wanted to die because of her husband's infidelity and signed a contract with a company staging suicide. If the woman knew who was sitting in the next chair... A tourist disappeared on a Greek island, and a detective with a unique ability to recognize jealousy during interrogation was invited to investigate... Suspicion falls on the brother of the missing person, and this motif of Cain and Abel echoes the plot of Nesbø's latest novel "Kingdom". Jealousy is covered with a thirst for justice, drives you crazy, poisons life and changes it for the better only when you manage to remove the opponent, literally and figuratively. Among the heroes of Nesbo there are both cynics and simpletons, but they always act unpredictably - even for themselves, because human logic is powerless before the green-eyed monster.
