In the heat of a sweltering Oslo summer, a young woman is
found murdered in her flat—with one of her fingers cut off
and a tiny red star-shaped diamond placed under her
eyelid. An off-the-rails alcoholic barely holding on to
his job, Detective Harry Hole is assigned the case with
Tom Waaler, a hated colleague whom Harry believes is
responsible for the murder of his partner.
When another woman is reported missing five days later,
and her severed finger turns up adorned with a red star-
shaped diamond ring, Harry fears a serial killer is at
work. But Hole's determination to capture a fiend and to
expose Waaler's crimes is leading him into shadowy places
where both investigations merge in unexpected ways,
forcing him to make difficult decisions about a future he
may not live to see.
