Literary events and Jo Nesbø tour in Croatia

Overview

In August 2026, literary updates in Croatia highlighted the release of Nikola Marinković’s family-social thriller, ‘Štorija o Beljakovima’, and announced an upcoming visit by Norwegian crime novelist Jo Nesbø.

By September, details emerged regarding Nesbø’s tour for his fourteenth Harry Hole novel, ‘Završni kadar’ (The Final Cut). The author is scheduled to appear in Split on September 26 as part of the Mediterranean Book Festival and in Zagreb at Tvornica Kulture on September 27. Demand for the Zagreb event has been high, with the publisher, Fokus, reporting that all 450 free tickets were claimed within two hours of registration opening on September 4.

The new novel introduces a shift in the long-running series, as Harry Hole is no longer a police officer. The plot follows Hole attempting to move away from his violent past while an investigation into cinematic murders is led by Oleg Fauke in Oslo.
