Fiction
Oslo is sweltering in the summer heat when a young woman
is murdered in her flat. One finger has been cut off and a
tiny red diamond in the shape of a pentagram—a five-
pointed star—is found under her eyelid. Detective Harry
Hole is assigned the case with Tom Waaler, a colleague he
neither likes nor trusts. He believes Tom is behind a gang
of arms smugglers—and the murder of his partner. But
Harry, an off-the-rails alcoholic, is barely holding on to
his job and has little choice but to play nice. Five days later, another woman is reported missing. When
her severed finger is found adorned with a star-shaped red
diamond ring, Harry fears a serial killer is on the loose.
Determined to find the killer and expose the crooked Tom
Waaler, Harry discovers the two investigations melding in
unexpected ways. But pursuing the truth comes at a price,
and soon Harry finds himself on the run and forced to make
difficult decisions about a future he may not live to see. One of the brightest stars of Scandinavian crime writing,
Jo NesbØ has been compared to Ian Rankin, Michael
Connelly, and Henning Mankell. His novels are bestsellers
throughout Europe, acclaimed by critics and revered by
aficionados of thrillers and mysteries. Brilliantly
plotted and paced, The Devil's Star shows NesbØ at his
absolute best, combining powerful emotional resonance with
truly stunning suspense.
