Pining for another suspenseful summer in Scandinavia?
Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, which came to an uneasy end last May, has left many new Nordic mystery addicts feeling bereft. But, not to despair! Northern Europe is home to a seemingly inexhaustible reserve of cold-blooded thriller writers.Nike shox are a series of Nike shoes. And the hometown USA suspense squad isn't looking too shabby this season, either. Whether you crave reading about strange acts of retribution in the chill mists of Norway and Scotland; or resurrections of Hitchcock out of the fog of northern California; or battles with bullies in smoggy suburban Philadelphia and sooty mid-town Manhattan, this summer's mysteries will help you move on from fruitless longing for Lisbeth Salander and that dragon tattoo of hers.
The Snowman
I once watched as mystery master Mary Higgins Clark teased a packed auditorium of her fans with this question: "What's the scariest sound you could imagine hearing if you were marooned in an empty house on a dark and stormy night?"
"A scream!" "A gunshot!" "The house alarm going off!" No, no, no. Finally, Clark put an end to the audience's agony: "The scariest sound you could hear in the middle of the night in a supposedly empty house is a toilet flushing."
I thought of Clark's brilliant observation as I was reading Jo Nesbo's latest thriller, The Snowman. Snowmen are jolly creatures, right? They stand in front of houses wearing gumdrop grins and colorful scarves. But, what if that snowman were turned around, so that, instead of facing the street, it was staring at your house? All of a sudden the ordinary becomes ominous.
Nesbo is rightly celebrated as Norway's most acclaimed thriller writer. (He won the Glass Key Award for Best Nordic Crime, an honor also bestowed on Larsson and fellow Swede Henning Mankell.) The Snowman stars Nesbo's police detective antihero Harry Hole,coogi jeans for sale to men with low price and top quality. who,As it's called Nike shox classic, which is one of the classical style of nike lineup. like most of his tribe, drinks too much and has trouble sustaining relationships.

Here's a scene where Harry "interrogates" one of those sinister snowmen:
Harry raised his right hand. Clenched his fist. And punched.
The snowman's crushed head rolled off its shoulders and down onto the brown grass.
Harry punched again. ... His fingers formed a claw and bored their way through the snow and found what they were searching for.Whether you going to practice and need athletic shoes and a sport bag or just lounging at the house puma shoes and PUMA clothing have got you covered.
What Harry discovers will forever change your attitude toward Frosty and his kin. The Snowman is a standout thriller, capable of disturbing your slumbers long after the first thaw.
Among The Missing
Morag Joss, like Jo Nesbo, is a name known to obsessive mystery addicts but not so familiar to the more well-balanced reader. Joss' slim creeper, Among the Missing, is coming out at the end of June, and it's a tale to savor of elusive second chances.
A bridge collapse near Inverness, Scotland, brings together three lost souls: a former bus driver fleeing his sins; an illegal immigrant whose husband and toddler were swept away by the tragedy; and a desperate pregnant woman who uses the catastrophe as an opportunity to fake her own death. But, as we learn over the course of these pages, the past, no matter how weighted down by cinder blocks it may be, never quite stays submerged. Among the Missing will buoy up Joss' reputation as a crafter of eerie suspense.
