A fantastically gripping thriller from the best-selling author of The Snowman.
Christmas shoppers stop to hear a Salvation Army concert on a crowded Oslo street. A gunshot cuts through the music and the bitter cold: one of the singers falls dead, shot in the head at point-blank range. Harry Holeβthe Oslo Police Departmentβs best investigator and worst civil servantβhas little to work with: no suspect, no weapon, and no motive. But Harryβs troubles will multiply. As the search closes in, the killer becomes increasingly desperate, and Harryβs chase takes him to the most forbidden corners of the former Yugoslavia.
Yet itβs when he returns to Oslo that he encounters true darkness: among the homeless junkies and Salvationists, eagerly awaiting a savior to deliver them from miseryβwhether he brings new life or immediate death.
With its shrewdly vertiginous narrative, acid-etched characters, and white-hot pace, The Redeemer is resounding proof of Jo NesbΓΈβs standing as one of the best crime writers of our time.
