Harry Hole is back and this time he's back from very, very far away. Another gripping instalment in this prize-winning and acclaimed series by the internationally #1 bestselling crime writer in Norway. Two women are found murdered in Oslo -- both of them have drowned in their own blood. What mystifies the police is that the puncture wounds in the victims' faces have been caused from the inside of their mouths. Kaja Solness from Homicide is sent to Hong Kong to track down a man who is the Oslo Police Department's only specialist on serial killings. The severely addicted detective has tried to disappear in the vast, anonymous city. He is on the run and haunted by his last case, the woman he loves, and creditors alike. His name is Harry Hole.

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.
