*JO NESBO HAS SOLD OVER 55 MILLION BOOKS WORLDWIDE* Richard and Judy's Book Club pick: Judy's review- 'This stunning slow burning thriller is a standalone book from huge multi-national bestseller Jo Nesbo.' Richard's review- 'Nesbo?s skill in depicting the gripping tensions of small town life remind us both of Stephen King. Unsurprisingly, King loves The Kingdom, and says he couldn?t put it down. Neither could we.'

Two brothers. Bound by blood... And a lifetime of secrets. When Roy and Carl's parents die suddenly, sixteen-year-old Roy is left as protector to his impulsive younger brother. But when Carl decides to travel the world in search of his fortune, Roy stays behind in their sleepy village, satisfied with his peaceful life as a mechanic. Years later, Carl returns with his charismatic new wife, Shannon - an architect - full of exciting plans to build a hotel on their family land. But it's only a matter of time before what begins as a jubilant homecoming sparks off a series of events that threaten to derail everything Roy holds dear and family loyalty is stretched to violent ends.

'Suspenseful...original...I couldn't put it down' Stephen King
