Phantom

Phantom, the gripping ninth instalment in Jo Nesbø's renowned Harry Hole series, takes readers on a harrowing journey through the dark underbelly of Oslo. This novel exemplifies Nesbø’s mastery in creating taut, edge-of-your-seat thrillers that keep readers enthralled until the very last page.

Harry Hole, the seasoned and tormented detective, finds himself in trouble once more. After barely surviving his last horrific case, Harry had left Oslo and the police force behind in search of solace. But now he has returned, driven by the need to investigate a case that, on the surface, seems to be solved. The suspect is already behind bars and the official investigation has been closed. Yet Harry's instincts tell him there is more to the story.

As Harry delves deeper, he encounters resistance at every corner. The police, wary of the chaos that often follows him, are reluctant to reopen a case they consider solved. Undeterred, Harry sets off on his own, following a murky trail of violence and inexplicable disappearances that have mysteriously escaped the attention of the authorities. The deeper he digs, the more he is met with a daunting silence—a silence that conceals the terrifying truth lying beneath the surface.

But Harry is not alone in his pursuit. From the moment he lands in Oslo, he is under surveillance. An unknown entity, lurking in the shadows, is intent on keeping him from uncovering the truth. Slowly, it becomes clear that Harry is being hunted by someone who will stop at nothing to silence him.

Expertly plotted and structured, Phantom is relentlessly paced and undoubtedly a compulsive page-turner, as noted by Independent on Sunday. Jo Nesbø’s intricate storytelling weaves together a narrative that is both enthralling and chilling, keeping readers on their toes with unexpected twists and turns.
