The Thirst – Jo Nesbø
Harry Hole has left the front lines of the Oslo police and is now teaching at the Police College, trying to live a quieter life with his wife, Rakel. But when a young woman is found murdered in her apartment after meeting a man through a dating app, and the killing bears disturbing marks, the police need his expertise.
In The Thirst, the eleventh novel in Jo Nesbø’s bestselling Harry Hole series, more victims follow, all women who used the same dating app, and the killer appears to have a bizarre and terrifying obsession with blood. The press dubs the murderer a vampirist, and the city is gripped by fear. Under pressure from his former colleagues, Harry reluctantly agrees to help, partly because he suspects a connection to the one killer who ever escaped him.
As the investigation intensifies, Harry works with familiar characters from the series, including Katrine Bratt, now leading the investigation, while also dealing with troubles at home and his own inner demons. The case leads him into a dark and twisted hunt that tests his abilities and his determination as never before.
Nesbø delivers his trademark combination of intricate plotting, shocking twists, psychological depth and relentless suspense, making the novel one of the most gripping in the series.
The Thirst is a must-read for fans of Harry Hole and Scandinavian crime fiction. It contains graphic violence, disturbing scenes and mature content, and is intended for adult readers. Readers will appreciate it most after the earlier books in the series.
