The Leopard
A Harry Hole Novel
Checking Availibility...Description
In the eighth Harry Hole book, two women are found murdered in Oslo--both of them have drowned in their own blood.
What mystifies the police is that the puncture wounds in the victims' faces have been caused from the inside of their mouths. Kaja Solness from Homicide is sent to Hong Kong to track down a man who is the Oslo Police Department's only specialist on serial killings. The severely addicted detective has tried to disappear in the vast, anonymous city. He is on the run and haunted by his last case, the woman he loves and creditors alike. His name is Harry Hole.

If, however, your taste is for tough and gritty narratives with a relentlessly page-turning quality, well . . . Jo Nesbo is still your man.
