Blood on Snow (Norwegian: Blod på snø) is a crime novel and thriller by Norwegian author Jo Nesbø. It was first published in Norway by Aschehoug in October 2014. Set in Oslo, Norway, a crime lord seeks the killing of his unfaithful wife by his hitman or "fixer". The hitman, Olav, falls in love with the woman that he is supposed to eliminate. The novel received a mixed reception, with praise for its fast pace but criticism for what some reviewers perceived as awkward first-person narration. A film adaption of the novel is underway.
