Jon "Jo" Nesbø (Norwegian: [ˈjuː ˈnɛ̀sbøː]; born 29 March 1960) is a Norwegian novelist and musician. His books had sold over 50 million copies worldwide by 2021, making him the most successful Norwegian author to date. He first came to prominence as a musician with country-pop band Di Derre.

His first novel, The Bat, was published in 1997 and was awarded the Riverton Prize for best Norwegian crime novel, and the Glass Key prize for best Nordic crime novel. After 1998 he concentrated on writing, continuing the internationally successful crime novel series about inspector Harry Hole, collecting several awards nationally and internationally. In 2007 he released his first children's book, Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder, which also was hugely successful.

Headhunters, the first film to be based on a Nesbø novel, was released in 2011. Since then several films and TV series have been based on his books, both the crime novels and the children's books, often with Nesbø himself as script writer.

Early life

Jon Nesbø was born in Oslo on 29 March 1960 and grew up in Molde. His mother, Kirsten, was a librarian. His father, Per Nesbø (died 1994), fought for Germany during World War II on the Eastern Front. Per was given a three year prison sentence after the war for his participation, and he later worked several odd jobs, including selling kitchen appliances, but struggled financially.

Nesbø graduated from the Norwegian School of Economics with a degree in economics and business administration. He worked as a freelance journalist and stockbroker before he began his writing career.

From the age of 20 he played guitar and after leaving college formed a band with his older brother. He also served for three years with the Royal Norwegian Air Force as part of his national military service.

He first came to prominence as the singer, rhythm guitarist and principal songwriter of country-pop band Di Derre, when their second album became a big hit in Norway, almost selling enough to make double platinum. The album was initially titled Kvinner & Klær (Women & Clothing), but had to be renamed and re-released as Jenter & Sånt (Girls & Stuff) after the eponymous Norwegian women's fashion magazine filed a complaint. His first novel, The Bat, was published in 1997, one year before Di Derre's fourth and final studio album.

Writing career

The Harry Hole series

The series follows Harry Hole, a tough detective working for Crime Squad and later with the National Criminal Investigation Service, whose investigations take him from Norway to numerous other countries. Hole takes on seemingly unconnected cases, sometimes found to involve serial killers, bank robbers, gangsters, or the establishment, but spends a significant amount of time battling alcoholism and his own personal demons.

The Harry Hole novels are multi-layered, violent, and often feature women in peril, as typified by The Snowman. On the return of Harry Hole in The Thirst, Nesbø said: "I was always coming back to Harry; he is my soul mate. But it is a dark soul, so it is – as always – both a thrill and a chilling, emotionally exhausting experience. But Harry and the story make it worth the sleepless nights."

A film adaptation of The Snowman, with Tomas Alfredson directing (replacing Martin Scorsese, who executive produced), and starring Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Ferguson, and Charlotte Gainsbourg, premiered in October 2017. A television adaptation Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole began filming in Oslo in 2024.
