Paperback: The police urgently need Harry Hole.
A killer is stalking Oslo's streets. Police officers are being slain at the scenes of crimes they once investigated but failed to solve. The murders are brutal, the media reaction hysterical.
But this time, Harry cannot help.
For years, detective Harry Hole has been at the center of every major criminal investigation in Oslo. His dedication to his job and his brilliant insights have saved the lives of countless people. But now, with those he loves most facing terrible danger, Harry is not in a position to protect anyone.
Least of all himself.
Police (2013) is the tenth book in the brilliant Harry Hole series set in Norway. It is translated from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett.
The next and eleventh book in the endlessly twisting Harry Hole series - The Thirst - will be out on 20 April 2017.
