Killing Moon

Description

“Harry Hole is an all-time great character…a 100% buy-today-read-tonight delight!”—Lee Child, author of the #1 bestselling Jack Reacher series
“Nesbo is back on gruesome form”—Financial Times

In the 13th novel in the Globe and Mail and New York Times bestselling series, brilliant rogue police investigator Harry Hole is back, this time as an outsider assembling his own team to help find a serial killer.

Two young women are missing in Oslo. Strangers to each other, but last seen at the same party. When the body of one of them is found with fresh stitches along her hairline, the hunt is on to find a murderer with singular compulsions. Catching this criminal calls for a detective with a singular mind: Harry Hole.

But Harry is gone: fired from the police force and down and out in Los Angeles. It seems like nothing can entice him back home—until someone close to him comes under threat. 

Now the clock is ticking, for Harry’s friend and for the missing woman. Can Harry cobble together a team good enough to help him catch an ingenious psychopath before the body count rises? The hunt will push him to the limit.“Jo Nesbo and his creation, Detective Harry Hole, are renowned worldwide with good reason. Over 12 novels, Nesbo has taken Hole around the world and back again—mentally, physically, emotionally—and with his latest, Killing Moon, neither creator nor character shows any signs of slowing down.” —Glam Adelaide (Australia)

“Jo Nesbo is one of today’s most interesting thriller writers, and Harry Hole is an all-time great character—for me, a 100% buy-today-read-tonight delight.” —Lee Child

“Like the old pro he is, Nesbo doles out some teasing details about the killer . . . early on while withholding enough information about [their] modus operandi, motive, and true identity to keep the pages fluttering long past bedtime. A battered hero, a memorably creepy villain, a series of false endings worthy of Jeffery Deaver: What’s not to love?” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Jo Nesbø slowly but surely proves what a superb master of suspense he is. . . . Killing Moon is a Harry Hole novel of the highest class. The cliffhanger for the next installment is already in place, so there is little doubt here. Harry Hole is back to stay.” —Verdens Gang (Norway)
  
“It’s hard to reinvent the crime story, but Jesus does this one pack a punch! Harry Hole is finally back after a three-year hiatus and there isn’t a single dull second when the murder mystery has to be solved at record speed in Killing Moon. Jo Nesbø is just wild.” —Romsdals Budstikke (Norway)

“Jo Nesbø is an ingenious plotter and tricks the reader time and time again. . . . The twisted universe bustles with life and suspense from the first page on and you almost compulsively keep turning the pages.” —Dagens Næringsliv (Norway)
   
“Nesbø has a sense of flair, a finesse, a wealth of ideas and plot construction that puts him in his own league among his crime writer colleagues.” —Adresseavisen (Norway)JO NESBØ is a musician, songwriter, economist, and #1 New York Times best-selling author.
