Police

The police urgently need Harry Hole

A killer is stalking Oslo’s streets. Police officers are being slain at the scenes of crimes they once investigated, but failed to solve. The murders are brutal, the media reaction hysterical.

But this time, Harry can’t help anyone

For years, detective Harry Hole has been at the centre of every major criminal investigation in Oslo. His dedication to his job and his brilliant insights have saved the lives of countless people. But now, with those he loves most facing terrible danger, Harry can’t protect anyone.

Least of all himself.

Jo Nesbo is a musician, songwriter, economist and internationally acclaimed author. The Leopard - the eighth Harry Hole thriller - was a number 1 bestseller in hardback, with Phantom - the ninth book in the series - topping the paperback charts. The Snowman has been optioned by Working Title films and will be directed by Martin Scorsese, whilst the film adaptation of Jo's standalone thriller, Headhunters was nominated for a BAFTA.

Carefully chosen victims. Former crime scenes. The target: police. Harry Hole is determined to keep his distance from the case, but as media pressure intensifies, he finds himself advising an unofficial task force. In this thrilling follow-up to PHANTOM, Harry is drawn into a web of cold cases and precarious allegiances, where he can't guarantee protection for anyone - least of all himself.
