The beginning of NEMESIS will hook readers
immediately. A robber walks into a bank and kills the
cashier when the money is not delivered fast enough.
Detective Hole takes the case even though there doesn't
seem to be many leads. Although he is supposed to be an
exceptional detective, Hole's life becomes complicated when
a former love contacts him...only to end up dead while Hole
wakes up with a headache.
More deaths follow Holes' former love and it appears that
someone may be framing Hole. Hole is still striving to
mete out justice for his deceased partner, but it isn't
easy with the murderer striking at random intervals. Hole
must stay on his toes
and think fast to save his job and livelihood. When a
criminal investigation begins, Waaler an adversary of
Hole may appear to be trying to take him down a peg.
The mystery
is very engrossing, but can be very complicated at times,
you may find yourself going back to double check things as
the storyline continues.
The only
complaint readers may have of NEMESIS could be the
excessive subplots, there are a lot of characters and
smaller plots going on in NEMESIS...that may be hard to
keep straight for too long.
Pick up NEMESIS for a great
thriller/mystery.
A man walks into an Oslo bank, puts a gun to a cashier's
head, and tells her to count to twenty-five. When he doesn't
get his money fast enough, he pulls the trigger. The young
woman dies--and two million Norwegian kroner disappear
without a trace. After a drunken evening with former
girlfriend Anna Bethsen, Police Detective Harry Hole wakes
up at home with a headache, no cell phone, and no memory of
the past twelve hours. The same day, Anna is found shot dead
in her bedroom, making Hole a prime suspect in the
investigation led by his hated adversary, Tom Waaler.
Meanwhile, the bank robberies continue with unparalleled
savagery, sending rogue detective Hole from the streets of
Oslo to steaming Brazil in a race to close two cases and
clear his name. But Waaler isn't finished with his longtime
nemesis quite yet.
