Description
In the heat of a sweltering Oslo summer, a young woman is found murdered in her flat; one of her fingers is missing and a tiny red star-shaped diamond is under her eyelid. In this third novel in the series, detective Harry Hole is back to drinking heavily after the events of the previous novel, Nemesis, when he is assigned to the case along with the despicable Tom Waaler. Another woman is reported missing five days later, and when her severed finger turns up adorned with a red star-shaped diamond ring Hole begins looking for a serial killer. But his determination to capture the fiend and also expose Waaler's crimes leads Hole into shadowy territory where both investigations merge in unexpected ways.

"The tortured hero, fighting and mostly losing the battle with his personal demons, is even more richly developed, and the deadly pas de deux between Hole and Waaler plays itself out to a stunning conclusion. The similarity between Hole and Ian Rankin's equally tormented John Rebus is ever present this time, but Hole may well be the more affecting character, alternately brilliant and deeply flawed, trapped between his obsessions and the seemingly impossible goal of protecting those he loves. Put Nesbø at the top of the Scandinavian crime-fiction ladder, right along with Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson."—Booklist (starred review)
