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 Hole—the Oslo Police Department’s best
investigator and worst civil servant—has little to work
with: no suspect, no weapon, and no motive. But Harry’s
troubles will multiply. As the search closes in, the killer
becomes increasingly desperate, and Harry’s chase takes him
to the most forbidden corners of the former Yugoslavia.
Yet it’s when he returns to Oslo that he encounters
true darkness: among the homeless junkies and Salvationists,
eagerly awaiting a savior to deliver them from
misery—whether 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 Nesbø’s standing as
one of the best crime writers of our time.
