Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A lottery windfall leads to betrayal and murder among a group of gruff factory workers, three of whom are ex-cons. When Oscar, Thor, Billy, and Tresko won nearly 2 million Norweigan Kroner, they thought all of their problems had been solved. Trouble arises, however, when the sum proves difficult to split between the four winners, and greed gets the best of everyone involved. Later, detectives discover Oscar bloodied in a strip club, clutching a shotgun and surrounded by corpses, the ensuing interrogation reveals just how low some men will sink in order to strike it rich. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Based on a story by writer Jo Nesbo.
