About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

HARRY HOLE'S DEADLIEST ENEMY IS BACK... AND OUT FOR BLOOD

Harry is in a bad place: Rakel has left him, he's working cold cases and notorious murderer Svein Finne is back on the streets.

THE FIRST KILLER HARRY PUT BEHIND BARS IS OUT TO GET HIM.

Harry is responsible for the many years Finne spent in prison but now he's free and ready to pick up where he left off.

A MAN LIKE HARRY BETTER WATCH HIS BACK.

When Harry wakes up with blood on his hands, and no memory of what he did the night before, he knows everything is only going to get worse...

There is something different about this one, smoother, more matured or something. As always, brilliant.

The best Harry Hole yet ... but new comers are recommended to start at Book 1 and delight in the whole series to relish in the full flavours of this brilliant, original masterpiece!
Sean Barrett remains the most masterful narrator and a mere five stars does not do him justice !

Beyond brilliant

as usual I'm left wanting more.

The book starts with a shock and the suspicions arise from the first chapter. None of my theories proved accurate and I was truly shocked by the outcome. I'm now left with a sense of grief.

I like Jo Nesbo's style and sense both of place and narrative.

I never saw that coming!

Mesmerisingly read as always.

Absolutely brilliant.
