*DETECTIVE HOLE IS SOON TO BE A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES*

Harry can't trust his own memory.

A man is caught on CCTV, shooting dead a cashier at a bank. Detective Harry Hole begins his investigation, but after dinner with an old flame wakes up with no memory of the past 12 hours.

Someone wants him out of this picture.

Then the girl is found dead in mysterious circumstances and he begins to receive threatening emails: is someone trying to frame him for her death?

And they'll stop at nothing to fulfil their bloodlust...

As Harry fights to clear his name, the bank robberies continue with unparalleled savagery...

Critic reviews

The next Stieg Larsson
Nesbo sets a cracking pace... A series of spectacular plot twists leads to a thrilling finale. Highly recommended
Compelling... Shocking and surprising...expertly paced
Many authors know how to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Jo Nesbo's one of the few who keeps them there (Lindwood Barclay)
An astonishingly confident debut. The Devil’s Star scores with an intriguing plot and Nesbo’s mastery of pace and tension
All stars
Most relevant
great plot & characters, the pace goes fast then slow, gripping in places and complex to follow in others

but all the little clues fit together in the end! Some over description /padding in places.

Really enjoyed this Harry Hole book. Having got to know him and his failings through Sean Barrett's voice I have come to understand his nature and was pleased to see him finally win a long standing victory in this book. I have enjoyed the ongoing understory that came through from earlier stories.
Will continue with the series interspersed with other genres. (Can only do so much crime and murder before I need a little break.)

I know I said that the previous one was the best but this tops it. Not too many confusing names, a clear plot and more twists than a corkscrew.
Totally absorbing and a great listen.

The best yet
