Book 11 in the Harry Hole series (2017)
Publisher: Vintage Crime
Harry Hole returns in the eleventh installment of the author’s best-selling, electrifying crime fiction series—published in 48 languages, more than 30 million copies sold worldwide.
In Oslo, several women who have arranged an appointment through a Tinder dating site are killed one after another. The investigative team, newly commanded by Katrine Bratt, has reason to stand by the way in which the victims were killed, and the fact that part of their blood has always disappeared from the crime scene.
Chief Police Chief Mikael Bellman needs to resolve the case as quickly as possible in order to move up the career ladder. Therefore, he calls back Harry Hole, who in the meantime moved to Rachel on Holmenkollen and wanted to enjoy a happy married life and peaceful lessons at the police academy. Given the brutality of the murders, however, none of this is entertained. Circumstances force him to set up an alternative investigation group and follow the trail. But finding the truth is not easy at all.
Jo Nesbø continues the same line he started with Snowman and elaborated it in Leopard and the following works. Thirst again brings a brisk and dramatic plot full of surprising twists, Harry’s sarcastic remarks and peculiar behavior. Harry is just back in full force and with all his might.
