The Leopard
In the depths of winter, two young women are found dead, both drowned in their own blood. Inspector Harry Hole, deeply traumatised by an investigation that threatened the lives of those he holds most dear, initially wants nothing to do with the case but his instincts take over when a prominent MP is found brutally murdered.
A heart-stopping thriller from the international crime fiction star and top 5 bestseller that the Independent has called 'The next Stieg Larsson'.

Description
You are allowing this killing to go on.
As the media frenzy escalates, the pressure mounts on the police to catch the elusive killer. The investigations hit one dead end after another, and the urgency to resolve the case grows. Out of options and verging on hopelessness, there's only one man who might crack the case – Inspector Harry Hole. However, Harry has retreated from the world, battling his personal demons and nursing his wounds. He is far from willing to step back into the spotlight.
It's time this was stopped...
The relentless killer, driven by a sinister motive, continues to terrorise the city. Harry, despite his reluctance, is inexorably drawn back into the hunt. With intricate plotting and unexpected twists, Nesbo crafts a narrative where danger lurks in every corner and trust is a perilous gamble.
...because I have appointed the next victim.
The emotional depth of Harry Hole's character, combined with the heart-pounding pursuit of a merciless villain, delivers a story that is as psychologically compelling as it is thrilling. The Leopard is a must-read for fans of the genre, showcasing Nesbo at his finest, delivering an intoxicating mix of suspense, drama, and expertly paced action.
Jo Nesbo has sold over 55 million books worldwide.
