Two young women have been found dead. The medical reports reveal that they both had twenty-four stab wounds in their mouths, and that they drowned. In their own blood. With traces of the same sedative in the victims' bloodstreams, pressure is mounting on the police to put the killer behind bars. But the Oslo police force has another problem: the only man who can solve the case doesn't want to be found. Deeply traumatised by an investigation that threatened the lives of those he holds most dear, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. When he learns his father is on his deathbed, Harry reluctantly agrees to return to Oslo. He has no intention of working on the case, but his curiosity gets the better of him when a prominent MP is found brutally murdered in a city park. Soon Harry is caught up in the web of a violent killer who will stop at nothing to escape justice.

"Comparisons with Stieg Larsson have been made, but Nesbo's plots move quickly, carry more punch, and really do keep you guessing to the final page" Daily Mirror "A cracking good thriller...that will keep you gripped to the last page" Guardian "Outstanding... Probably the best big crime novel you could lay your hands on this year" BBC Radio 4 "Nesbo's novels keep going when you think there can't be any more twists to follow. Scenes switch from the avalanche-threatened ravines and mountain cabins of back-country Norway, close to oil-rich Stavanger and metropolitan Oslo, to an active volcano in Africa" Times Literary Supplement "Original Norwegian noir...absorbing" -- Tom Huddleston Time Out
Jo Nesbo is a musician, songwriter, economist and author. His first crime novel featuring Harry Hole was published in Norway in 1997 and was an instant hit, winning the Glass Key Award for best Nordic crime novel (an accolade shared with Peter Hoeg, Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson).
