Synopsis
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

Paperback. Condition: Fair. In the depths of winter, a killer stalks the city streets. His victims are two young women, both found with twenty-four inexplicable puncture wounds, both drowned in their own blood. The crime scenes offer no clues, the media is reaching fever pitch, and the police are running out of options. There is only one man who can help them, and he doesn't want to be found. Deeply traumatised by The Snowman investigation, which threatened the lives of those he holds most dear, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. But with his father seriously ill in hospital, Harry reluctantly agrees to return to Oslo. He has no intention of working on the case, but his instinct takes over when a third victim is found brutally murdered in a city park. The victims appear completely unconnected to one another, but it's not long before Harry makes a discovery: the women all spent the night in an isolated mountain hostel. And someone is picking off the guests one by one. A heart-stopping thriller from the bestselling author of the The Snowman, The Leopard is an international phenomenon that will grip you until the final page. A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Cover and pages may be creased and show discolouration. Seller Inventory # GOR002879542
