Jo Nesbø: full New Zealand tour details

Last year on Crime Watch I shared the great news that terrific Norwegian crime fiction superstar Jo Nesbø would be coming to New Zealand in March 2012, including as part of the New Zealand International Arts Festival in Wellington. As I said last year, Jo Nesbø would also be doing events in Auckland, Christchurch and Wanaka. I'm now pleased to share the full tour itinerary for Nesbø's visit, which includes a number of events, along with premiere screenings of the film adaptation of HEADHUNTERS. Great stuff!

Here's the full run-down from Random House, his New Zealand publisher:
