Book Description Softcover. Condition: new. Product DescriptionINTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER In the electrifying first installment of the Inspector Harry Hole series, Harry Hole of the Oslo Crime Squad is dispatched to Sydney to observe a murder case. As he circles closer to the killer, Harry begins to fear that no one is safe, least of all those investigating the murder.The victim is a twenty-three year old Norwegian woman who is a minor celebrity back home. Harry is free to offer assistance, but he has firm instructions to stay out of trouble. Never one to sit on the sidelines, Harry befriends one of the lead detectives, and one of the witnesses, as he is drawn deeper into the case. Together, they discover that this is only the latest in a string of unsolved murders, and the pattern points toward a psychopath working his way across the country.Don't miss Jo Nesbo's latest Harry Hole novel, Killing Moon!From Booklist*Starred Review* When Nesbs Harry Hole novels began appearing in the U.S., the Oslo police detective was well into his spiral of alcoholic self-destruction. With the recent appearance of earlier books in the series (The Redeemer, 2013), fans have been able to catch up on the backstory that put Harry in such a bad way. With the U.S. publication of this series debut, we see still more of the detectives evolution. In Australia as a consulting detective on a murder case in which the victim is a Norwegian native, Harry does what will eventually become his signature: spotting the signs of a serial killer at work and following a convoluted trail with an obsessiveness that puts not only himself but all those around him at risk. Reading this wrenching, emotionally charged tale, which features a fascinating take on the lives of Aboriginals in contemporary Sydney, with full knowledge of what awaits Harry in succeeding, similar cases over the years, we find ourselves wanting to scream, No, Harry, not again! But, in fact, this is the first time he loses himself in the chase, inflicting lasting, self-administered body blows on his fragile psyche, and while the chronological confusion is disconcerting, it adds a layer of dramatic irony to the tale and enhances its tension and power. With the future of the series still up in the air after Phantom (2012), this is an absolute must for devotees of the riveting train wreck that is Harry Hole. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Any Harry Hole novel is big news in the crime-fiction world, and this retrospectively published series debut will thrill its built-in audience. --Bill OttReviewNATIONAL BESTSELLER A USA Today Critics Pick Winner of The Riverton Prize for Best Norwegian Crime Novel of the Year Winner of The Glass Key for Best Nordic Crime Novel of the YearThis is an absolute must for devotees of the riveting train wreck that is Harry Hole. While the chronological confusion is disconcerting, it adds a layer of dramatic irony to the tale and enhances its tension and power.-Booklist (starred review)Harry is already every bit as volcanic as in his later cases. The big difference is Australia, which Nesb, seeing it through the eyes of both a tourist and a cultural pathologist, makes you wonder how much different it is from Norway after all.-Kirkus Reviews"This debut effort shows Nesb as an already confident genre craftsman, striking sparks from the familiar genre material of Harrys fish-out-of-water experience in a foreign land and odd-couple pairing with a mismatched partner."-Publishers WeeklyEven with this first book Nesbs command of the idiom is completely in place-there is absolutely no sense that the writer was finding his feet and aficionados will be very pleased to slide this on to their bookshelves alongside the other Harry Hole novels.-The Daily ExpressIt is fantastic to see a younger Harry, a more loquacious Harry. [Nesb is] a terrific writer who knows how to build a story, taking you slowly to the top of a rollercoaster before sending you hurtling towards a solution that. Seller Inventory # DADAX034580709X
