A chilling investigation unfolds in Killing Moon, where former detective Harry Hole must confront a serial killer stalking Oslo's streets.
In Killing Moon, a shocking crime unfolds in the heart of Oslo when a woman's body is discovered in the forest. The chilling detail of her scalp being removed and sewn back on sends detectives into a frenzy as they grapple with the implications of such a gruesome act. With a second woman reported missing, the urgency escalates, and fear grips the community as the possibility of a serial killer emerges. The pressure mounts as detectives race against time to prevent further violence and uncover the truth behind these horrific events.
Former detective Harry Hole is brought back into the fold, tasked with thinking like the murderer to track down the elusive killer. As he delves deeper into the investigation, Harry's personal motives for solving the case come to light, adding another layer of complexity to the already tense situation. The stakes are high, and the clock is ticking, as Harry realizes that more lives may be at risk if he fails to act quickly.
Nesbo's masterful storytelling in Killing Moon keeps readers on the edge of their seats, blending psychological thrills with a gripping narrative. With its intricate plot and well-developed characters, this installment in the Harry Hole series promises to captivate both longtime fans and newcomers alike, reaffirming Nesbo's status as a leading figure in Scandinavian crime fiction.
Not just an unbearably tense thriller but another of Nesbo's studies in love and loneliness... there are few greater crime writers * The Times, Crime Book of the Month *
Nesbo deserves to be crowned the king of all crime thriller writers * Sunday Express *

Jo Nesbø is one of today's most interesting thriller writers, and Harry Hole is an all-time great character - for me, a 100% buy-today-read-tonight delight. * Lee Child *

Jo Nesbo is back with the weirdest murder in modern fiction... compelling * Sunday Times *
This is one of the darkest entries in the series, with a serial killer whose methods are inventively macabre even by Nesbo's standards. But with Harry in the unfamiliar role of private eye, assembling an eccentric team to help him, and rubbing his old police colleagues up the wrong way, it's also one of the most fun * Daily Express *
Killing Moon... [is] classic Nesbo but even by his standards the killer's creepy' * The Sun *
Breathtaking... Harry Hole returns in cracking form * Sunday Times *
