An Award-Winning Nordic Noir Procedural of WWII Eastern Front Secrets and Oslo Assassins

After an international diplomatic mistake reassigns him to secret service surveillance duty in Oslo, Inspector Harry Hole investigates an illegal shipment containing a rare Märklin assassination rifle. Harry's inquiry reveals that the weapon was purchased by a sniper connected to Norway's neo-Nazi subculture.

Digging deeper, Harry uncovers a conspiracy rooted in World War II, when Norwegian soldiers fought alongside German forces on the brutal Eastern Front. As an aging veteran begins executing former comrades on Oslo streets, Harry must navigate police corruption and wartime betrayals to stop a high-profile political assassination.

Why You’ll Love This Book

International bestseller Jo Nesbø delivers an acclaimed entry in his Harry Hole series, awarded the Glass Key for Best Nordic Crime Novel. Blending WWII historical timelines with gritty Oslo police procedural tradecraft, this thriller is essential reading for fans of Stieg Larsson, Henning Mankell, and Jussi Adler-Olsen.
