The Harry Hole Series - Book 6
The Redeemer
“A tour de force. Nesbø has a plot here that is so tightly constructed and compelling that it’s impossible to put the book down. This is a serial killer story, and one with a punch.”
Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Christmas shoppers stop to hear a Salvation Army concert on a crowded Oslo street. An explosion cuts through the music and the bitter cold: one of the singers falls dead, shot in the head at point-blank range. Harry Hole—the Oslo Police Department's best investigator and worst civil servant—has little to work with: no suspect, no weapon, and no motive. But Harry's troubles will multiply. As the search closes in, the killer becomes increasingly desperate, and Harry's chase takes him to the most forbidden corners of the former Yugoslavia.
With its shrewdly vertiginous narrative, acid-etched characters, and white-hot pace, The Redeemer is resounding proof of Jo Nesb├©'s standing as one of the best crime writers of our time.
