The Leopard - Softcover
Hongkong: Im Dunst der Garküchen und Drogenhöhlen dämmert einsam ein Mann vor sich hin. Kommissar Harry Hole ist am Ende, er hat alle Brücken hinter sich abgebrochen, die chinesische Mafia ist ihm auf den Fersen. Gleichzeitig erschüttert Oslo eine Serie grotesk-grausamer Morde. Die junge Kommissarin Kaja schafft es schließlich, Harry zurückzuholen. Schon bald wird er immer tiefer in den Fall hineingezogen. Der Täter erweist sich als äußerst unberechenbar und intelligent. Er arbeitet mit einem perfiden Mordwerkzeug, das lautlos und quälend langsam tötet. Die Spuren führen Harry von einer einsamen Hütte im norwegischen Hochgebirge bis nach Ruanda. Als er dem Killer gegenübersteht, muss er eine übermenschliche Entscheidung treffen. Entdecken Sie auch das Hörbuch zu diesem Titel!

Review:
Amazon Best Books of the Month, December 2011: At the end of his previous thriller, The Snowman, Jo Nesbo's Inspector Harry Hole was a ravaged mess. At the start of The Leopard, we find Hole hiding away from the world, smoking opium in the squalor of Hong Kong's back alleys. A pretty young police officer drags him reluctantly back to Norway to pursue another serial killer, this one more twisted and vicious than the Snowman. Despite some far-fetched scenes, Hole is a damaged, soulful, and believable character. And Nesbo is proving to be a major talent, an eloquent writer who,, with the end of Steig Larsson's trilogy and the retirement of Henning Mankell's brooding detective Kurt Wallander, seems poised to become heir to the title "King of the Nordic thriller." --Neal Thompson
About the Author:
Jo Nesbo is a musician, songwriter, economist and author. His first crime novel featuring Harry Hole was published in Norway in 1997 and was an instant hit, winning the Glass Key Award for best Nordic crime novel (an accolade shared with Peter Hoeg, Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson). The Leopard is the sixth of Nesbo's novels to be translated into English. Check out www.jonesbo.co.uk
