Jo Nesbø tour and literary updates 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 appeared in Split at the Mediterranean Book Festival before his scheduled appearance at Tvornica Kulture in Zagreb on September 27. Demand for the Zagreb event was 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 but works for an insurance company in Oslo. The plot follows Hole attempting to move away from his violent past while an investigation into cinematic murders is led by Oleg Fauke.

Following his tour, Nesbø appeared on the Croatian program ‘Nedjeljom u 2’ to discuss his career and connection to the country. He recalled his first visit to Croatia at age seventeen, describing a friendly encounter with a local bank manager after accidentally ending up in Belgrade. During the discussion, he also addressed his views on artificial intelligence and the film adaptation of ‘The Snowman’, which stars Michael Fassbender and was filmed on location in Norway.
