Description
In Phantom, Jo Nesbo delivers a masterful thriller that continues the gripping saga of detective Harry Hole. This taut and intricately woven tale draws readers into the gritty underbelly of Oslo, where danger lurks around every corner. Harry Hole, once the pride of Oslo’s police force, is no stranger to trouble, but even he isn’t prepared for the whirlwind of darkness awaiting him on his return to his homeland.
Although reluctant to return to Oslo, Harry is compelled by a personal connection to a complex case whose secrets remain buried beneath layers of deceit and conspiracy. The stakes are personal, driving Harry to step back into the city’s criminal underworld where a series of brutal murders have left an indelible mark. Struggling against corrupt officials and underworld thugs, Harry is determined to prove the innocence of a young man accused of killing a drug dealer, all while warily navigating the tense streets of a city teetering on the edge of turmoil.
Denied the official resources of a detective, Harry is left to his devices, operating outside the law in his quest for the truth. As he searches for answers, each discovery leads to another chilling secret, and it becomes increasingly clear that powerful forces are watching his every move. The shadows of Harry's past loom large, and a silent observer tracks him with malevolent intent, ready to eliminate any threat to their clandestine activities.
Phantom is both hypnotic and harrowing, exploring themes of redemption and the unrelenting pursuit of justice. Nesbo's narrative deftly navigates the murky waters of addiction, betrayal, and the quest for meaning in a world that often seems devoid of it. The novel is a testament to Nesbo's prowess in crafting a story that is as unpredictable as it is enthralling. Fans of crime fiction will be captivated by Harry Hole’s attempts to reclaim his identity and fulfil his lingering sense of duty, making this book an unforgettable addition to the series.

About the Author
Jo Nesbo is one of the world's bestselling crime writers, with The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son, The Thirst, Macbeth 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 50 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.
