INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Meaty, gripping, full of tantalizing twists” (Associated Press), this installment of the international bestselling series brings Inspector Harry Hole back from Hong Kong hot on the trail of a serial killer.Inspector Harry Hole has retreated to Hong Kong, escaping the trauma of his last case in squalid opium dens, when two young women are found dead in Oslo, both drowned in their own blood. Media coverage quickly reaches a fever pitch. There are no clues, the police investigation is stalled, and Harry—the one man who might be able to help—can’t be found. After he returns to Oslo, the killer strikes again, Harry’s instincts take over, and nothing can keep him from the investigation, though there is little to go on. Worse, he will soon come to understand that he is dealing with a psychopath who will put him to the test, both professionally and personally, as never before.

"Dark, gruesome, and sexy. In "The Leopard," Harry bounces between Oslo, rural ski cabins, and the Congo in search of another serial killer. Lots of plot twists - maybe even a bit too complicated this time. Entertaining but not really believable. Nesbo also invents a hideous torture device called "Leopold's Apple", just like he did with the "Marklin rifle" in the Redbreast. Speaking of that Marklin rifle..."
"Cold and dark - every Nesbo works perfectly."
