Jo Nesbo’s character, Harry Hole emerges once again as a conflicted and tortured soul. Hole is a brilliant detective as he battles alcoholism, personal demons, and internal enemies within the Oslo police department. As with all Nesbo mysteries it is well thought out, has numerous unpredictable twists and turns, and applies a certain amount of psychology to draw the reader in. It is wonderful that most of his Harry Hole novel’s are now translated into English.
