Four weeks ago, Aaron tested the new skills that she's acquired in her world of darkness against Ludger Holm, the psychopath who fired that shot. Now she's learned that her worst enemy has left her a legacy of two billion dollars. Although she knows that it's a trap, Aaron realizes that if she is ever to find peace, she must play Holm's deadly game to the bitter end.

And he knows how to make that world — and the world we all live in — vivid." — BookTrib "Jenny Aaron is the blind Sherlock Holmes." — Stefan Ahnhem

A fantastically gripping thriller from the best-selling author of The Snowman. Christmas shoppers stop to hear a Salvation Army concert on a crowded Oslo street. A gunshot cuts through the music and the bitter cold: one of the singers falls dead, shot in the head at point-blank range. Harry Hole--the Oslo Police Department's best investigator and worst civil servant--has little to work with: no suspect, no weapon, and no motive. But Harry's troubles will multiply. As the search closes in, the killer becomes increasingly desperate, and Harry's chase takes him to the most forbidden corners of the former Yugoslavia. Yet it's when he returns to Oslo that he encounters true darkness: among the homeless junkies and Salvationists, eagerly awaiting a savior to deliver them from misery--whether he brings new life or immediate death. With its shrewdly vertiginous narrative, acid-etched characters, and white-hot pace, The Redeemer is resounding proof of Jo Nesbø's standing as one of the best crime writers of our time.
