The Leopard by Jo Nesbo
His victims are two young women, both found with twenty-four inexplicable puncture wounds, both drowned in their own blood. 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.
"Comparisons with Stieg Larsson have been made, but Nesbo's plots move quickly, carry more punch, and really do keep you guessing to the final page" * Daily Mirror *
"A cracking good thriller..that will keep you gripped to the last page" * Guardian *
"Outstanding... Probably the best big crime novel you could lay your hands on this year" * BBC Radio 4 *
"Nesbo's novels keep going when you think there can't be any more twists to follow. Scenes switch from the avalanche-threatened ravines and mountain cabins of back-country Norway, close to oil-rich Stavanger and metropolitan Oslo, to an active volcano in Africa" * Times Literary Supplement *
"Original Norwegian noir...absorbing" -- Tom Huddleston * Time Out *
