Paperback blurb: A young woman is murdered.
One finger has been severed from her left hand and behind her eyelid is secreted a tiny red diamond in the shape of a five-pointed star - a pentagram, the devil's star.
Detective Harry Hole is assigned to the case with his long-time adversary Tom Waaler and initially wants no part in it.

Where is the author's favourite place to write?
