"With Henning Mankell having written his last Wallander novel and Stieg Larsson no longer with us, I have had to make the decision on whom to confer the title of best current Nordic writer of crime fiction . . . Jo Nesbo wins." --Marcel Berlins, The Times (U.K.) Two young women are found murdered in Oslo, both drowned in their own blood. Media coverage quickly reaches fever pitch: Could this be the work of a serial killer? The crime scenes offer no coherent clues, the police investigation is stalled, and the one man who might be able to help doesn't want to be found. Traumatized by his last case, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. Yet when he is compelled, at last, to return to Norway--his father is dying--Harry's buried instincts begin to take over. After a female MP is discovered brutally murdered, nothing can keep him from the investigation. There is little to go on: a piece of rope, a scrap of wool, a bit of gravel, an unexpected connection between the victims. And Harry will soon come to understand that he is dealing with a psychopath for whom "insanity is a vital retreat," someone who will put him to the test--in both his professional and personal lives--as never before. Ruthlessly intelligent and suspenseful, The Leopard is Jo Nesbo's most electrifying novel yet--absolutely gripping from first to last.

Exceptional plot development, collage and description of locations, continuing to expand the relationship of the tormento mind of Harry Hole with his detective role; besides presenting
a new very frightening villain with shocking ways of murder. Beyond thrilling.

too many twists
Too many twists and turns in this story. Too many little incidents you need to recall 100 pages after they appear. I thought the ending came at least two times before the last page.

Good Novel, But , , ,
Nesbo's novel is well-written, engrossing at times, but not a book I would recommend as "necessary" reading.

Totally Hooked
This is now my 6th Harry Hole in a row. I can't stop and fortunately there is a 7th already published in English as my Norwegian is nonexistent!
