Killing Moon
The brand-new detective Harry Hole thriller from the iconic Sunday Times No.1 bestseller Jo Nesbo, Killing Moon, delves deep into the dark corners of human nature and the intricate webs of crime and passion.
When a woman’s brutally murdered body is discovered in the forest, the police are stunned by the bizarre nature of the crime—the victim's scalp has been removed and meticulously sewn back on. As they struggle to find answers, the mystery deepens with the report of a second woman gone missing. The grim possibility of a serial killer unravelling in the shadows of Oslo becomes increasingly real, igniting a race against time.
The urgency of the case leads to an unconventional decision: calling upon former detective Harry Hole, a man with an uncanny ability to delve into the minds of murderers. Harry is known for his exceptional, albeit often unorthodox, investigative skills; however, his involvement is spurred by personal motives that complicate his pursuit of this deadly predator. As the countdown to save the abducted woman ticks closer to a bleak conclusion, Harry's own demons threaten to surface, making the hunt for the killer a perilous journey where more than one life hangs in the balance.
Not just an unbearably tense thriller, Killing Moon is also a profound study of love and loneliness, emotions that Nesbo masterfully intertwines with the storyline. Praised for his psychological depth and intricate plotting, Jo Nesbo creates a vivid portrait of desperation and obsession that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.
Renowned thriller writer Lee Child hails Nesbo as "one of today's most interesting thriller writers, a 100% buy-today-read-tonight delight," while The Times acknowledges his profound prowess, stating, "There are few greater crime writers."
Killing Moon is a novel that not only challenges the intellect but also delves into the raw, often dark, depths of the human psyche, making it a standout addition to the Harry Hole series and a must-read for any thriller enthusiast.
Nesbo deploys all the key ingredients of a cracking good thriller with "effortless" finesse, as highlighted by the Guardian, further cementing his status as "the undisputed king of Scandinavian crime fiction" according to The Times.
