2015 edition of novel by Jo Nesbø

Roger Brown is a corporate headhunter, and he’s a master of his profession. But one career simply can’t support his luxurious lifestyle and his wife’s fledgling art gallery. At an art opening one night he meets Clas Greve, who is not only the perfect candidate for a major CEO job, but also, perhaps, the answer to his financial Greve just so happens to mention that he owns a priceless Peter Paul Rubens painting that’s been lost since World War II—and Roger Brown just so happens to dabble in art theft. But when he breaks into Greve’s apartment, he finds more than just the painting. And Clas Greve may turn out to be the worst thing that’s ever happened to Roger Brown.

Jon is on the run. He has betrayed Oslo’s biggest crime lord: The Fisherman.

Fleeing to an isolated corner of Norway, to a mountain town so far north that the sun never sets, Jon hopes to find sanctuary amongst a local religious sect.

Hiding out in a shepherd’s cabin in the wilderness, all that stands between him and his fate are Lea, a bereaved mother and her young son, Knut.

But while Lea provides him with a rifle and Knut brings essential supplies, the midnight sun is slowly driving Jon to insanity.

And then he discovers that The Fisherman’s men are getting closer…

Ved et uhell skyter og sårer politietterforskeren Harry Hole en amerikansk Secret Service-agent under Clintons Norgesbesøk. Saken blir dysset ned, og Harry overføres til Overvåkningspolitiet. En faks tikker inn om en våpenliga som er blitt rullet opp i Johannesburg og avslører at en attentatrifle har havnet i Oslo. Harry blir satt på sporet av norske frontkjempere, nynazister og en kontakt med kodenavnet Prinsen, som synes å ha forbindelser innenfor politiets egne rekker. En morder har gjort scenen klar for sin siste opptreden.

Harry Hole er i Sydney for å bistå australsk politi i etterforskningen av drapet på en ung norsk kvinne. I King's Cross, Sidneys gledeskvarter, beveger han seg blant horer og halliker, transer, klovner og pushere. Og noen aboriginere, Australias urinnvånere. I denne skyggeverdenen aner Hole etter hvert konturene av et spill hvor han ufrivillig er blitt tildelt en viktig rolle. 

In the mountains of Norway a man lives a peaceful existence. However one day his younger brother, always the more successful and charming of the two, turns up to visit, accompanied by his new wife. It soon turns out that the little brother is not quite as angelic as he seems.
Set in a small town filled with secrets, this compellingly dark new thriller from the Sunday Times number one bestseller has a plot as explosive and multi-layered as any of the Harry Hole novels.

《雪地之血》
奥拉夫是一个孤独又冷酷的职业杀手，他的生活方式就是终结别人的生命，因此他难以接近任何人，也无法开展任何属于自己的故事，仿佛每取一条人命，他自己就少了一个灵魂……平静如冰的他，居然遇到梦中的女人，但是有两个问题：一，她是他老板霍夫曼的妻子；二，她是他下一个要取命的对象……

In
the last novel featuring Jo Nesbø's hard-bitten, maverick Oslo detective—a killer wreaking revenge on the police had Harry Hole fighting for the safety of the people closest to him. Now, in
the story continues as Harry is inextricably drawn back into the Oslo police force. A serial murderer has begun targeting Tinder daters—a murderer whose MO reignites Harry's hunt for a nemesis of his past.

is a fabulous introduction to Nesbø’s tough-as-nails series protagonist, Oslo police detective Harry Hole. A brilliant and epic novel, breathtaking in its scope and design—winner of The Glass Key for best Nordic crime novel and selected as the best Norwegian crime novel ever written by members of Norway’s book clubs—
is a chilling tale of murder and betrayal that ranges from the battlefields of World War Two to the streets of modern-day Oslo. Follow Hole as he races to stop a killer and disarm a ticking time-bomb from his nation’s shadowy past.
magazine says that “nobody can delve into the dark, twisted mind of a murderer better than a Scandinavian thriller writer”…and nobody does it better than Jo Nesbø! James Patterson fans should also take note.

When Harry left Oslo again for Hong Kong—fleeing the traumas of life as a cop—he thought he was there for good. But then the unthinkable happened. The son of the woman he loved, lost, and still loves is arrested for murder: Oleg, the boy Harry helped raise but couldn't help deserting when he fled. Harry has come back to prove that Oleg is not a killer. Barred from rejoining the police force, he sets out on a solitary, increasingly dangerous investigation that takes him deep into the world of the most virulent drug to ever hit the streets of Oslo (and the careers of some of the city's highest officials), and into the maze of his own past, where he will find the wrenching truth that finally matters to Oleg, and to himself.

In the depths of winter, a killer stalks the city streets. His victims are two young women, both found with twenty-four inexplicable puncture wounds, both drowned in their own blood. The crime scenes offer no clues, the media is reaching fever pitch, and the police are running out of options. There is only one man who can help them, and he doesn't want to be found. Deeply traumatised by The Snowman investigation, which threatened the lives of those he holds most dear, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. But with his father seriously ill in hospital, Harry reluctantly agrees to return to Oslo. He has no intention of working on the case, but his instinct takes over when a third victim is found brutally murdered in a city park.
The victims appear completely unconnected to one another, but it's not long before Harry makes a discovery: the women all spent the night in an isolated mountain hostel. And someone is picking off the guests one by one. A heart-stopping thriller from the bestselling author of the The Snowman, The Leopard is an international phenomenon that will grip you until the final page.

The brand new Harry Hole thriller from Sunday Times number one bestseller Jo Nesbo.
A man like Harry had better watch his back...
Following the dramatic conclusion of #1 bestseller THE THIRST, KNIFE sees Harry Hole waking up with a ferocious hangover, his hands and clothes covered in blood. Not only is Harry about to come face to face with an old, deadly foe, but with his darkest personal challenge yet.
The twelfth instalment in Jo Nesbo’s internationally bestselling crime fiction series.

硬汉警探哈利·霍勒和一生挚爱萝凯的关系濒临破裂，虽然重返奥斯陆警局，却只能办不起眼的小案子，但他真正想调查的是代号“未婚夫”的性侵犯斯韦恩·芬内可能涉及的案件。哈利曾亲手将芬内逮捕并送进监狱，但芬内在服完二十年刑期后出狱了，现在正准备卷土重来。然而更糟的还在后头，这天早上哈利醒来，发现双手沾满鲜血，记忆更因前一晚的酒醉而断片。就在那晚，发生了一桩命案，死者命丧利刃之下，现场像是被精心清理过，杀人手法却粗糙且情绪化。这是喜欢以刀威胁被害者的芬内干的，还是有人蓄意栽赃？哈利不知道，这一切只是噩梦的开始，事情的发展将完全出乎他的意料……

罗格·布朗是挪威顶尖猎头，他推荐的人选百分之百会被客户雇用。他在面试应征者时运用FBI的九大侦讯技巧，将他们玩弄于股掌之上，让对方主动昭告一切。这项技能还让罗格得以从事另一项不为人知的工作——偷窃并转卖名画。这个秘密财源帮他维持奢华的生活，负担一栋历史悠久的豪宅，同时资助美丽妻子耗资不菲的画廊生意。某晚在画廊举办的赏画会上，妻子介绍他认识了克拉斯·格雷韦，他不但是一个顶尖科技公司执行总裁的完美人选，而且刚好有一幅价值连城的鲁本斯画作，可以帮罗格解决严重的财务问题。然而，当罗格闯入格雷韦的公寓后，他发现的不只是那幅画而已，还有妻子掉在卧房床下的手机……与格雷韦相识，也许是罗格这辈子最倒霉的一件事。他那套面试把戏在格雷韦面前彻底失效，而且自从发现妻子出轨后，各种乌龙衰事纷至沓来……

The night the first snow falls a young boy wakes to find his mother gone. He walks through the silent house, but finds only wet footprints on the stairs. In the garden looms a solitary figure: a snowman bathed in cold moonlight, its black eyes glaring up at the bedroom windows. Round its neck is his mother’s pink scarf.
Inspector Harry Hole is convinced there is a link between the disappearance and a menacing letter he received some months earlier. As Harry and his team delve into unsolved case files, they discover that an alarming number of wives and mothers have gone missing over the years. When a second woman disappears Harry’s suspicions are confirmed: he is a pawn in a deadly game. For the first time in his career Harry finds himself confronted with a serial killer operating on his turf, a killer who will drive him to the brink of insanity.
A brilliant thriller with a pace that never lets up, The Snowman confirms Jo Nesbø’s position as an international star of crime fiction.

Die Leiche, die Gert Rafto in der Nähe von Bergen im Schnee liegen sieht, ist nur anhand ihrer Brust als Frau zu erkennen. Den Rest hat der Mörder bis zur Unkenntlichkeit zerstückelt. In der Nähe der Leiche findet der Polizist einen Schneemann: wie noch bei vielen anderen Frauen, die auf ähnlich bestialische Weise ermordet worden sind -- und werden. Kommissar Harry Hole findet heraus, dass die Morde unmittelbar mit den Kindern der Ermordeten zusammenhängen. Und er steigt hinab in die dunkle Seele eines Täters, den die Presse publikumswirksam „Schneemann“ nennt -- und der es nicht zuletzt auf Holes große Liebe Rakel abgesehen hat. Aber welche Rolle spielen der zwielichtige Gert Rafto und seine Tochter in dem tödlichen Spiel? Massenmörder haben Hochkonjunktur in der internationalen Krimiszene -- wobei sich die Autoren bei der Beschreibung der von diesen an den Tag gelegten Grausamkeiten schier zu überbieten scheinen. Bei dem ein oder anderen Buch hat man dabei den Eindruck, dass die bestialisch getöteten Opfer nicht nur die Handlung strukturieren, sondern auch darüber hinwegtäuschen sollen, dass der Verfasser offenbar nicht in der Lage ist, die Entwicklung der Lösung über 200 bis 400 Seiten mit nur einer Leiche durchzuziehen. Bei Jo Besbø ist das etwas anders. Denn der norwegische Bestseller-Autor beherrscht seinen Plot, wie der Leser bei der Lektüre unschwer erkennen kann, auf jeder Seite.
So ist Schneemann nicht nur psychologisch eisig, klug und stringent aufgebaut sowie mit vielen raffinierten Wendungen bestückt: Er ist auch noch mit einem Schluss versehen, der einem -- trotz des etwas allzu effektvollen (vielleicht schon für eine Verfilmung geschriebenen?) Showdowns -- einen kalten Schauer über den Rücken laufen lässt. -- Thomas Köster, Literaturanzeiger.de -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

男子叫她把金屬球放進嘴巴。她照做了。
這是一場遊戲，一場殘忍的遊戲。她必須玩這場遊戲。

深冬的奧斯陸。一個隱形、沒有聲音的獵人正在悄悄地追蹤獵物。
兩名女性死者遭自己的血液溺斃，體內的麻醉劑、牙齒上的鈳鉭金屬、口中二十四個穿刺傷口……種種證據顯示凶手是同一人。
調查陷入僵局。警方對嫌犯、動機和凶器一無所知，只知道凶手將再度犯案。而唯一破案的希望，是全挪威唯一有追緝連續殺人犯經驗和技術、卻也令全警局頭痛的傳奇人物－－警探哈利．霍勒。在此同時，第三名殘忍遇害的國會女議員，讓連續殺人案被推上檯面，也讓警方高層的命案調查權之爭白熱化。

當晚在小屋裡究竟發生過什麼事？是誰一一殺掉這些萍水相逢的旅客？為了深入凶手的內心，哈利決定去求助昔日的夙敵──在醫院受疾病所苦、日漸衰亡的連續殺人犯「雪人」。
然而他不知道，這些命案背後，原來是一場暗中策劃已久的獵捕遊戲……

The murder victim, a self-declared Tinder addict. The one solid clue—fragments of rust and paint in her wounds—leaves the investigating team baffled.
Two days later, there’s a second murder: a woman of the same age, a Tinder user, an eerily similar scene.
The chief of police knows there’s only one man for this case. But Harry Hole is no longer with the force. He promised the woman he loves, and he promised himself, that he’d never go back: not after his last case, which put the people closest to him in grave danger.
But there’s something about these murders that catches his attention, something in the details that the investigators have missed. For Harry, it’s like hearing “the voice of a man he was trying not to remember.” Now, despite his promises, despite everything he risks, Harry throws himself back into the hunt for a figure who haunts him, the monster who got away.

Internationally acclaimed crime writer Jo Nesbø’s antihero police investigator, Harry Hole, is back: in a bone-chilling thriller that will take Hole to the brink of insanity.
Oslo in November. The first snow of the season has fallen. A boy named Jonas wakes in the night to find his mother gone. Out his window, in the cold moonlight, he sees the snowman that inexplicably appeared in the yard earlier in the day. Around its neck is his mother’s pink scarf.
Hole suspects a link between a menacing letter he’s received and the disappearance of Jonas’s mother—and of perhaps a dozen other women, all of whom went missing on the day of a first snowfall. As his investigation deepens, something else emerges: he is becoming a pawn in an increasingly terrifying game whose rules are devised—and constantly revised—by the killer.
Fiercely suspenseful, its characters brilliantly realized, its atmosphere permeated with evil, The Snowman is the electrifying work of one of the best crime writers of our time.
