Oslo, the very town where the gun now found itself, in Holmenkollveien, to be precise, in Rakel Fauke’s house. Harry must drag himself out of his alcoholic hole and use his detective skills to uncover the identity of the killer. Could see she regarded him as a male chauvinist who had just assessed and graded a younger female colleague. Police officers are being slain at the scenes of crimes they once investigated, but failed to solve. Richard quickly earns a reputation as an outcast, and when a classmate named Tom goes missing, no one believes him when he says the telephone booth out by the edge of the woods sucked Tom into the receiver like something out of a horror movie.He switched off his headlamp, hung the helmet from the handlebars and pushed the bike towards the light. When the sun shone through the window into the room, a strip of light shaped like an hourglass travelled from the keyhole into the cupboard and, if the sun was at precisely the right angle, there would be a matt gleam to the gun lying on the middle of the shelf. Egyszerűen már meg akartam oldani ezt a borzasztó ügyet, így kényszervallatásnak vetettem alá saját gyanúsítottamat, de mindent tagadott, sőt több gyilkosság idejére volt holtbiztos alibije, kénytelen voltam elengedni.

Although this was the very first novel in the series it was not translated into English until later. In the years Anton had worked at Crime Squad, before the Great Mistake, he had seen a great many bodies, but nothing like this. In the darkened room he could make out the machinery around the bed and toes sticking out from under the duvet. That at any moment car headlamps could pick out a family standing on the kerb, staring blankly into the light, bleeding, ashen, the father impaled, the mother’s head the wrong way round, a child with limbs on one side only. Harry in a heavy smoker and is also an alcoholic, whose problems sometimes get him in trouble with his superiors.A surprise ending promises a fresh start for a series that had appeared to end with its previous novel.

Killing Moon: The NEW Sunday Times bestselling thriller

This is one of the darkest entries in the series, with a serial killer whose methods are inventively macabre even by Nesbo's standards.Police has all the traits that we have come to expect from a Harry Hole novel: a story that works entirely and where the reader more than once may wonder if Nesbo is playing a joke on us, a story that is told at a pace and with a built-in pressure that almost forces the text on the reader. For years, detective Harry Hole has been at the center of every major criminal investigation in Oslo.

Police - Jo Nesbo Police - Jo Nesbo

This murderer has a very devious modus operandi, luring police, and ex-police, involved in unsolved murders to the scene of the original crime to perform a copycat killing there, seemingly as a punishment for having failed to solve the original case. For another, the job she turns out to have been hired for—leading an investigation her new boss doesn’t feel he can entrust to his own force—makes her queasy. From the provinces, that was clear, but like most Norwegians from Østland Anton had no idea about, and no particular interest in, dialects. We can only wait with baited breath to see where his literary talent will lead us next, whether is be down a dark mysterious alley way or a laugh inducing fart filled adventure.The novel is fast paced with a developed mystery that keeps the reader guessing until the culprit is revealed. His mother is deceased, he has a weak relationship with his father and his sister had Down Syndrome. Before him danced a yellow light, but it disappeared when the bead of sweat reached the ridge of his nose, ran into his eyes and blinded him. Annak ellenére mondom ezt, hogy így a tizedikre már abszolút kiismerhetők Nesbo nem is túl átlátszó kis trükkjei, és igen, nagyon hamar, teljes bizonyossággal rájöttem, ki a gyilkos. spoiler Harry Hole új életének kapujában áll, és erről olvasni kifejezetten jól esett a sok alkoholmámoros kaland után.
