admin — Tue, 21 May 2013 09:34:43 +0000

The Redeemer, the sixth installment in the Harry Hole series, is released in the U.S. today.

Kirkus Reviews says:

“Rarely does a mystery novel succeed on so many levels, as the intricate plotting explores psychological and theological dimensions that go deeper than standard notions of good and evil. As a literary stylist as well as as a master of mystery, Nesbø has established himself as the king of Scandinavian crime fiction. … [The Redeemer] may be the best, or at least the richest, in its evocation of a sinister plot … Ultimately, a story with a lot of pieces to its puzzle hurtles toward a climax that is not merely sad, but tragic.”
