About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

THE HUNT IS ON AND THE POLICE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

Two young women are missing, their only connection being that they attended the same party, hosted by a notorious businessman. When one of the women is found murdered, the police discover an unusual signature left by the killer, giving them reason to suspect he will strike again.

THEY'RE FACING A KILLER UNLIKE ANY OTHER.

And catching him calls for a detective like no other. But the legendary Harry Hole is gone. Struck off the force, down and out in Los Angeles, it seems that nothing can entice him back to Oslo. Until the woman who saved Harry's life is put in grave danger, and he is forced to join the hunt for the murderer.

TO CATCH HIM WILL PUSH HARRY TO THE LIMIT.

He'll need to bring together a misfit team of former operatives to do what he can't do alone: stop an unstoppable killer. But as the evidence mounts, it becomes clear that there is more to this case than meets the eye.

For Harry, this just got personal.

Critic Reviews

Not just an unbearably tense thriller but another of Nesbo's studies in love and loneliness... there are few greater crime writers
Nesbo deserves to be crowned the king of all crime thriller writers
Nesbo deploys all the key ingredients of a cracking good thriller...the ticking clock, the tension expertly ratcheted ever upwards, the changing scenery, the constantly shifting goalposts and the effortless, triumphant outpacing of the reader's ability to guess what's going to happen
The undisputed king of Scandinavian crime fiction
Jo Nesbø is one of today's most interesting thriller writers, and Harry Hole is an all-time great character - for me, a 100% buy-today-read-tonight delight.
Nesbo is unassailably the reigning king of Nordic noir as well as a global crime-writing superstar... [in] Killing Moon...Nesbo is back on gruesome form
Jo Nesbo is back with the weirdest murder in modern fiction... compelling
This is one of the darkest entries in the series, with a serial killer whose methods are inventively macabre even by Nesbo's standards. But with Harry in the unfamiliar role of private eye, assembling an eccentric team to help him, and rubbing his old police colleagues up the wrong way, it's also one of the most fun
Killing Moon... [is] classic Nesbo but even by his standards the killer's creepy'
Breathtaking... Harry Hole returns in cracking form
All stars
