Two young women are found murdered in Oslo, both drowned in their own blood. Media coverage quickly reaches fever pitch: Could this be the work of a serial killer?
The crime scenes offer no coherent clues, the police investigation is stalled, and the one man who might be able to help doesnβt want to be found. Traumatized by his last case, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kongβs opium dens. Yet when he is compelled, at last, to return to Norwayβhis father is dyingβHarryβs buried instincts begin to take over. After a female MP is discovered brutally murdered, nothing can keep him from the investigation.
There is little to go on: a piece of rope, a scrap of wool, a bit of gravel, an unexpected connection between the victims. And Harry will soon come to understand that he is dealing with a psychopath for whom βinsanity is a vital retreat,β someone who will put him to the testβin both his professional and personal livesβas never before.
Ruthlessly intelligent and suspenseful, The Leopard is Jo NesbΓΈβs most electrifying novel yetβabsolutely gripping from first to last
