Harry is in the dark.
Harry is out of the police force. He has left a history of violence and grief behind him and is trying his hands at a new career. But when a woman is found murdered, her killing styled after a scene from a famous movie, and two more bodies turn up in rapid succession, newly minted homicide investigator Oleg Fauke turns to Harry for advice.
He's about to get pulled into the spotlight.
As gruesome films begin to appear and the victims pile up, Harry's unique expertise is needed. He is drawn back into helping his old colleagues, and his personal relationships grow as complicated as the mind of the killer he is trying to catch.
Will he make the cut?
Kill Shot is the 14th novel in the Harry Hole series, although each title reads as a standalone.
