Blood on Snow
by Jo Nesbo (Harvill Secker)
Olav is a “fixer” – a hired assassin. It’s a lonely life, and not one conducive to forming lasting relationships.
Then Olav meets the woman of his dreams.
But there are two problems – she is his boss, and, more importantly, he’s just been hired to kill her.

NYPD Red3
by James Patterson and Marshall Karp (Century)
James Patterson keeps churning them out.
I’ve long lost interest in any of his novels, but Patterson still has a large following.
In this latest novel Hunter has it all – a beautiful wife, a brilliant son and millions in the bank. Then his son goes missing and he discovers the severed head of his chauffeur.
And suddenly Hunter is at risk of losing it all.
His son’s kidnapper knows his secret – it’s a secret that could change everything.
New York detectives Zach Jordan and Kylie MacDonald are assigned the case.
They soon realise that as they get closer to the answers, they also get closer to uncovering a secret that people will kill for.
