The Son by Jo Nesbø
Fiction

Sonny Lofthus has been in prison for the last ten years. His life had spiraled out of control when he found his father dead, a suicide ahead of being outed as a corrupt cop. Confessing to crimes in exchange for a steady supply of heroin in jail, he becomes a confidant to many inmates who find his company soothing. One day a fatally ill inmate decides to make amends and tells Sonny a secret about his dad, which has far-reaching consequences. Waking up from his drug-induced stupor, Sonny goes cold turkey and decides to take revenge… A page-turner standalone from the author of the Harry Hole Scandinavian mysteries series.
