A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Jo Nesbo is one of the world’s bestselling crime writers, with The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son and his latest Harry Hole novel, The Thirst, all topping the Sunday Times bestseller charts. He's an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 50 languages, selling over 36 million copies around the world.

Before becoming a crime writer, Nesbo played football for Norway’s premier league team Molde, but his dream of playing professionally for Spurs was dashed when he tore ligaments in his knee at the age of eighteen. After three years military service he attended business school and formed the band Di Derre ('Them There'). They topped the charts in Norway, but Nesbo continued working as a financial analyst, crunching numbers during the day and gigging at night. When commissioned by a publisher to write a memoir about life on the road with his band, he instead came up with the plot for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat.

Quatrième de couverture :

'A well-crafted rollercoaster of a book...Nesbø sets a cracking pace... A series of spectacular plot twists leads to a thrilling finale. Highly recommended' Guardian
'Compelling...shocking and surprising...expertly paced' The Times

A young woman is murdered. One finger has been severed from her left hand and behind her eyelid is secreted a tiny red diamond in the shape of a five-pointed star - a pentagram, the devil's star.

Detective Harry Hole is assigned to the case with his long-time adversary Tom Waaler and initially wants no part in it. But Harry is already on notice to quit the force and is left with little alternative but to drag himself out of his alcoholic stupor and get to work. With a wave of similar murders, it soon becomes apparent that Oslo has a serial killer on its hands...

'The next big thing...absolutely gripping' Daily Telegraph
