INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Meaty, gripping, full of tantalizing twists” (Associated Press), this installment of the international bestselling series brings Inspector Harry Hole back from Hong Kong hot on the trail of a serial killer. Inspector Harry Hole has retreated to Hong Kong, escaping the trauma of his last case in squalid opium dens, when two young women are found dead in Oslo, both drowned in their own blood. Media coverage quickly reaches a fever pitch. There are no clues, the police investigation is stalled, and Harry—the one man who might be able to help—can’t be found. After he returns to Oslo, the killer strikes again, Harry’s instincts take over, and nothing can keep him from the investigation, though there is little to go on. Worse, he will soon come to understand that he is dealing with a psychopath who will put him to the test, both professionally and personally, as never before.

This book was so epic I read it in a day, definitely the same vibe going for it as Millenium trilogy, I can see myself getting into Nesbo for sure. Maybe not as amazing as Millenium trilogy books but very good, great characters and plot unfolds nicely. CHur
Jo Nesbo's latest novel available for Kindle. Featuring the alcoholic and nearly ruined (from the previous book) Harry Hole. There's a few earlier works that aren't available yet in English but with the success of “The Snowman” I suspect that won't be true for long. Good writer. Fast paced interesting detective fiction with a flawed but dogged detective at the center of the action. Reminiscent of Raymond Chandler and other early American detective novelists.
