The Redbreast

"An elegant and complex thriller. . . . Harrowingly beautiful." -- New York Times Book Review "Hugely impressive--ambitious in scope, and skilled in execution." -- Los Angeles Times "Ranks with the best of current American crime fiction." -- Washington Post Jo Nesbø, the New York Times bestselling author of The Snowman , has solidified his spot as one of the most exciting Scandinavian thriller writers in the crime fiction business. The Redbreast is the third installment in Nesbø''s tough-as-nails series featuring Oslo police detective Harry Hole. Detective Harry Hole embarrassed the force, and for his sins he''s been reassigned to mundane surveillance tasks. But while monitoring neo-Nazi activities in Oslo, Hole is inadvertently drawn into a mystery with deep roots in Norway''s dark past--when members of the nation''s government willingly collaborated with Nazi Germany. More than sixty years later, this black mark won''t wash away, and disgraced old soldiers who once survived a brutal Russian winter are being murdered, one by one. Now, with only a stained and guilty conscience to guide him, an angry, alcoholic, error-prone policeman must make his way safely past the traps and mirrors of a twisted criminal mind. For a hideous conspiracy is rapidly taking shape around Hole--and Norway''s darkest hour may still be to come.
