This investigation is eventually discovered by Kripos and shut down despite the progress being made. Bellman the ambitious Kripos boss wants all murder investigations placed under his jurisdiction.Įver the reluctant hero, and pained by the loss of Rakel and her son from his life, Hole doesn’t want to get involved with the murder investigation but is drawn into working secretly on the case for Crime Squad while a parallel Kripos investigation struggles along. The unit is in a power struggle with Norway’s national crime investigation unit Kripos. Crime Squad wants Harry back to help catch another serial killer. Hole is convinced to return to Norway after being told that his father, Olav Hole, is terminally ill in hospital. Pretty gory stuff reminiscent of the Saw series of films and brutal even for Nesbo. Meanwhile back in Norge, women are being brutally killed using a (fictional) torture device called ‘Leopold’s Apple’ which when inserted into the mouth and activated shoots spring loaded spikes into the victims head. Having quit the police after the nightmarish events of The Snowman we find Harry Hole using opium and gambling in Hong Kong to try and ween himself off alcohol.
