But it’s clear that Brown feels that he is himself a fake: his wife is ’not in his league’, and perhaps he’s playing at all this anyway, just to get back at his abusive father. As a headhunter, he manipulates reality to instal his choices into Norway’s corporate corner offices as an art thief, he substitutes fakes into his victims’ frames. The result is a novel that can be read in a few hours but whose imprint will last far longer. If Robbie Munro is picaresque, the lead of this novel (and film) takes the description to extremes. So today we look at an older, one-off novel, Headhunters, which gives us a very different protagonist. ![]() Jo Nesbo has a new Harry Hole book out but there are loads already in the series. ![]()
