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 doesn’t want to be found. Traumatized by his last
case, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor
of Hong Kong’s opium dens. Yet when he is compelled, at
last, to return to Norway—his father is dying—Harry’s 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 “insanity is a vital retreat,” someone who will put
him to the test—in both his professional and personal
lives—as never before.
Ruthlessly
intelligent and suspenseful, The Leopard is Jo
Nesbø’s most electrifying novel yet—absolutely gripping from
first to last
