Description
Knife by Jo Nesbo is a gripping addition to the acclaimed Harry Hole series, depicting the Norwegian detective in one of his darkest and most personal battles yet. As Oslo's most notorious investigator, Harry Hole is no stranger to danger, but this time, the threats are closing in on all sides. Harry finds himself in a dire situation: his relationship with Rakel has shattered, pushing him into an emotional abyss, and he is relegated to investigating mundane cold cases.
Amidst this turmoil, a deadly figure from Harry's past resurfaces—Svein Finne, the "Fiancé," a ruthless murderer Harry once put behind bars, is now free. Finne, a man with a chilling history of violence, is determined to exact revenge. Harry must navigate this perilous world, knowing the first killer he ever apprehended is lurking and poised to strike again.
The stakes escalate when Harry awakens in his apartment, drenched in blood, and devoid of any recollection of the previous night's events. With mounting dread, he understands that his life is on the line, and his enemies are closer than ever. Each moment becomes a race against time, with Harry delving into the treacherous underbelly of the city for answers, while confronting his own fragmented memories and questionably loyal allies.
