Nemesis by Jo Nesbo is an electrifying crime thriller that plunges Detective Harry Hole into a tangled web of intrigue and danger. The plot revolves around a series of violent bank heists, meticulously executed by a cunning and elusive robber who always seems to stay one step ahead of the law. As Harry and his team race against time to uncover the criminal's identity, they find themselves ensnared in a complex game of cat and mouse.

Amidst the chaos of the investigation, Harry has a seemingly innocent dinner with an old flame. However, the next morning he awakens with no recollection of the past 12 hours. To make matters worse, the woman he dined with is found dead under suspicious circumstances.

About the Author

Jo Nesbo is one of the world's bestselling crime writers, with The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son, The Thirst and Knife all topping the Sunday Times bestseller charts. He's an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 50 languages, selling over 45 million copies around the world. Before becoming a crime writer, Nesbo played football for Norway's premier league team Molde, but his dream of playing professionally for Spurs was dashed when he tore ligaments in his knee at the age of eighteen. After three years military service he attended business school and formed the band Di Derre ('Them There'). They topped the charts in Norway, but Nesbo continued working as a financial analyst, crunching numbers during the day and gigging at night. When commissioned by a publisher to write a memoir about life on the road with his band, he instead came up with the plot for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat.
