ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - This killer will get inside your head. - Brilliant rogue police investigator Harry Hole is back, this time as an outsider assembling his own team to help find a serial killer who is murdering young women in Oslo in the next novel in the internationally best-selling series. "One of today's most interesting thriller writers." --Lee Child, author of the #1 best-selling Jack Reacher series THE HUNT IS ON AND THE POLICE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME. Two young women are missing, their only connection a party they both attended, hosted by a notorious real-estate magnate. When one of the women is found murdered, the police discover an unusual signature left by the killer, giving them reason to suspect he will strike again. THEY'RE FACING A KILLER UNLIKE ANY OTHER. And exposing him calls for a detective like no other. But the legendary Harry Hole is gone--fired from the force, drinking himself to oblivion in Los Angeles. It seems that nothing can entice him back to Oslo. Until the woman who saved Harry's life is put in grave danger, and he has no choice but to return to the city that haunts him and track down the murderer. CATCHING HIM WILL PUSH HARRY TO THE LIMIT. He'll need to bring together a misfit team of former operatives to accomplish what he can't do alone: stop an unstoppable killer. But as the evidence mounts, it becomes clear that there is more to this case than meets the eye...

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION After four years of abstinence, Jo Nesbo returns to the series that crowned him as the "king of thriller" (Financial Times). Harry Hole has moved to Los Angeles, since there is nothing to keep him in Norway after losing everything that gave his life meaning. There, he is rescued from his alcoholic downward spiral by Lucille, a veteran movie actor who, in exchange for his protection, offers him a roof, a tailored suit, and a pair of luxury shoes. Meanwhile, back in Oslo, a young woman who had been missing for days after attending a party hosted by Markus Roed, real estate mogul and her sugar daddy, has turned up dead. The whereabouts of yet another young woman connected to him are unknown, for which the police is closing in on the millionaire. An unusual detail over the head of the first victim worries the police... It looks like the signature of someone willing to kill again. Determined to clear his name, Roed sends an emissary to hire Hole as a private investigator. It is such a handsome reward, that Harry could help Lucille be free of a dangerous Mexican gang. However, he has only ten days to return to his home country and solve the case. The clock is ticking and something ominous, infectious as a parasite, lingers in the air: a moon eclipse is almost upon them, ready to bathe the city of Oslo in red.

In the thirteenth novel in the New York Times best-selling series, brilliant rogue police investigator Harry Hole is back, this time as an outsider assembling his own team to help find a serial killer. Harry has gone to Los Angeles to drink himself to death, in the wake of his life back in Oslo falling to pieces. He's nearly managed to, but Harry has been helping an older film actress, Lucille, to get away from the grips of a drug cartel to which she owes one million dollars, and in return she's given him shelter, company and a tailored suit. In Oslo, two girls have disappeared and been found murdered and one of the suspects is a well-known real estate magnate. Katrine Bratt wants to bring in the country's foremost serial killings expert, but the idea of collaborating with Harry Hole is out of the question for the chiefs of police. The real-estate magnate under suspicion on the other hand wants to hire Harry as a private investigator to clear his name from the case. Harry declines, but that's before the drug cartel takes Lucille hostage. If Harry achieves the task, the real estate magnate will award him a bonus enough to cover Lucille's debt. He puts together a team consisting of a cocaine-dealing childhood friend, a corrupt police officer and a cancer-stricken psychologist. The drug cartel has given them ten days. The clock is ticking, and a blood moon has been forecast over Oslo.
