The leopard by Jo Nesbo

The Leopard marks another gripping entry in Jo Nesbø’s internationally acclaimed Harry Hole series. After the harrowing events in The Snowman, detective Harry Hole has fled to Hong Kong, broken and addicted. But when two women are found brutally murdered in Norway, each with mysterious puncture wounds, the Oslo Crime Squad needs Harry’s expertise once more.

Reluctantly drawn back, Harry faces a web of corruption, power, and cruelty that stretches from the mountains of Norway to the heart of Africa. With time running out and more lives at stake, Harry must confront not only the killer — but also his own demons.

Dark, intelligent, and ruthlessly suspenseful, The Leopard showcases Jo Nesbø at his finest — a master of psychological depth and nerve-shredding tension.
