The Redbreast

"The Redbreast" is acclaimed Norwegian author Jo Nesbo's highly anticipated American debut. After making a terrible mistake in the line of duty, Police Detective Harry Hole is reassigned to mundane surveillance tasks- specifically, monitoring neo-Nazi activities in Oslo. Someone is killing the surviving Norwegian soldiers who sided with Hitler during Norway's darkest hour; and as Harry Hole is pulled deeper into the dark underworlds of Russia, Norway, and his own alcoholism, Harry realizes that if he doesn't act soon, an international conspiracy with deadly implications will unfold. Gripping and intense from the first page, "The Redbreast" is a must-read from an up-and-coming author.
