Grainy closed-circuit television footage shows a
man walking into an Oslo bank and putting a gun to a
cashier's head. He tells the young woman to count to
twenty-five. When the robber doesn't get his money in time,
the cashier is executed, and two million Norwegian kroner
disappear without a trace. Police Detective Harry Hole is
assigned to the case. While Hole's girlfriend is
away in Russia, an old flame decides to get in touch. Former
girlfriend and struggling artist Anna Bethsen invites Hole
to dinner, and he can't resist a visit. But the evening ends
in an all too familiar way as Hole awakens with a thundering
headache, a missing cell phone, and no memory of the past
twelve hours. That same morning, Anna is found shot dead in
her bed. Hole begins to receive threatening e-mails. Is
someone trying to frame him for this unexplained death?
Meanwhile, the bank robberies continue with unparalleled
savagery. As the death toll continues to mount,
Hole becomes a prime suspect in a criminal investigation led
by his longtime adversary Tom Waaler and Waaler's vigilante
police force. Racing from the cool, autumnal streets of Oslo
to the steaming villages of Brazil, Hole is determined to
absolve himself of suspicion by uncovering all the
information needed to crack both cases. But the
ever-threatening Waaler is not finished with his old
archenemy quite yet.
