Description
Police by Jo Nesbo is a suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat thriller that brings back the beloved detective, Harry Hole, in a gripping and multi-layered narrative that will keep you captivated until the very last page. The streets of Oslo are once more plagued by a ruthless killer, targeting police officers at the very crime scenes they once left as unsolved mysteries. The brutality of the murders has the entire city gripped in a state of hysteria, with the media frenzy adding to the chaos.
Harry Hole, known for his extraordinary dedication and sharp, incisive brilliance, has always been at the heart of Oslo's most complex and dangerous criminal investigations. His remarkable ability to piece together the most intricate puzzles has saved numerous lives. However, this time, the stakes are higher than ever. With his loved ones in imminent danger, Harry finds himself unable to extend his protective reach to those who need it most, including himself.
Jo Nesbo masterfully crafts an intense, unpredictable story that delves deep into the psyche of one of crime fiction's most compelling characters. The tension is palpable as Harry battles personal demons and confronts a menace that seems always to be one step ahead. The narrative twists and turns, keeping readers guessing and on the edge of their seats.
Police is not just a tale of crime and retribution, but also a profound exploration of loss, loyalty, and the relentless pursuit of justice. Nesbo’s ability to weave together complex characters and unexpected plot developments has cemented his place as a titan in the world of crime fiction.

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.
