âWith Henning Mankell having written his last Wallander novel and Stieg Larsson no longer with us, I have had to make the decision on whom to confer the title of best current Nordic writer of crime fiction . . . Jo Nesbø wins.â âMarcel Berlins, The Times (U.K.)
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 doesnât want to be found. Traumatized by his last case, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kongâs opium dens. Yet when he is compelled, at last, to return to Norwayâhis father is dyingâHarryâs 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 âinsanity is a vital retreat,â someone who will put him to the testâin both his professional and personal livesâas never before.
Ruthlessly intelligent and suspenseful, The Leopard is Jo Nesbøâs most electrifying novel yetâabsolutely gripping from first to last.
