Given that author Jo Nesbø has sold over 60 million books worldwide – including 5.6m in his native Norway, more than the population of the country – it’s a no-brainer to bring one of his best-known characters to small screen life.

Our hero has to navigate a ‘puzzle of patterns, corruption and his own demons’ to catch the killer, while also dealing with his corrupt adversary Tom Waaler.
