Prepare for a chilling midwinter experience in Jo Nesbø's gripping thriller The Redeemer, where Detective Harry Hole is once again thrust into the centre of a dark and deadly pursuit.

On a freezing December night, holiday cheer turns to chaos when a Salvation Army carol concert becomes the scene of a brutal murder. Amidst the festive crowds, an unseen assassin fires a fatal shot, killing one of the singers and sending shockwaves through Oslo.

In the aftermath of the shocking crime, the relentless and determined Detective Harry Hole and his team are called in to investigate. However, they are met with a formidable challenge: there is no immediate suspect, no murder weapon, and no clear motive. As they dig deeper, it becomes evident that the assassin has made a grave error—he has killed the wrong man. Realising his mistake, the hitman is now more desperate than ever, and Harry must race against time to prevent another murder.

The Redeemer is a masterful exploration of suspense and complexity, featuring the beloved and flawed detective, Harry Hole. Jo Nesbø expertly weaves a tale of intrigue and tension, where each twist propels the story towards a heart-stopping climax. This chilling thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat, as Harry delves into the dark underbelly of Oslo, crossing paths with dangerous adversaries and uncovering hidden secrets.

Critically acclaimed author Michael Connelly praises the novel, stating, "This book had my pulse in the red zone from start to finish."

The Redeemer is not just a story about a murder—it is a profound exploration of human nature, morality, and redemption. As the clock ticks down, Harry Hole confronts not only a relentless killer but also his own inner demons, making this one of Nesbø's most compelling and unputdownable books to date.
