Harry Hole is an all-time great character...a 100% buy-today-read-tonight delight!"—Lee Child, author of the #1 bestselling Jack Reacher series
"Nesbo is back on gruesome form"—Financial Times
In the 13th novel in this internationally bestselling series, brilliant rogue police investigator Harry Hole is back, this time as an outsider assembling his own team to help find a serial killer.

Two young women are missing in Oslo. Strangers to each other, but last seen at the same party. When the body of one of them is found with fresh stitches along her hairline, the hunt is on to find a murderer with singular compulsions. Catching this criminal calls for a detective with a singular mind: Harry Hole.
But Harry is gone: fired from the police force and down and out in Los Angeles. It seems like nothing can entice him back home—until someone close to him comes under threat. 
Now the clock is ticking, for Harry's friend and for the missing woman. Can Harry cobble together a team good enough to help him catch an ingenious psychopath before the body count rises? The hunt will push him to the limit.

      Nesbø’s 13th Harry Hole novel (after 2019’s Knife) covers familiar terrain in a too familiar way. Norwegian sleuth Hole has left the Oslo police after a tragedy and relocated, broke and despondent, to sunny California. At the start, Hole saves Lucille, an aging actor, from a powerful family’s attempts to collect the almost $1 million she owes them. It’s a temporary fix, but fortunately, a contrivance gives him a chance to help her pay her debts: Hole’s former colleagues are probing the murder of Susanne Anderson, a 26-year-old found dead in an Oslo forest. Suspicion focuses on Markus Røed, a real estate mogul, who’d slept with Anderson. Røed decides to hire his own investigator for PR purposes and contacts Hole, who agrees to investigate if he pays Lucille’s $1 million debt. The killer’s unusually gruesome method is the book’s only novelty—otherwise, Nesbø hits all the typical beats of a serial killer thriller, including a lead who seeks redemption through his work, sections presented from the perspective of the murderer, and the imperiling of a significant character. This is a shadow of the author’s best work. Agent: Niclas Salomonsson, Salomonsson.

      Harry Hole returns in a dark, disturbing narrative skillfully performed by John Lee. At rock bottom in Los Angeles, Harry is drowning in alcohol, having lost everything dear to him. However, a lucrative offer beckons him back to Oslo, where as a private detective he can save the life of a woman he recently met. The case involves a sadistic serial killer. Lee effectively portrays the macabre details of the killer's grotesque acts, which range from mutilation to cannibalism. Shifting perspectives among Harry, his former police colleagues, the victims, and the disturbed killer, Lee employs accents, tone, and pacing to differentiate the many characters. While Harry's backstory is scattered throughout, newcomers might benefit from starting earlier in the series. E.Q. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
