Description
Phantom is the ninth gripping instalment in the internationally bestselling Harry Hole crime thriller series. Picking up after the events of The Snowman and The Leopard, this tense and emotional novel sees Harry—now a former police officer—reluctantly return to Oslo from Hong Kong when Oleg, the son of the woman he still loves, is arrested for murder. Harry helped raise Oleg, and despite their estrangement, he is determined to clear the boy’s name.
Without the authority of a badge, Harry embarks on a lone investigation that pulls him into the dangerous underworld of Oslo’s drug trade. At the heart of the case is a deadly new narcotic that has infiltrated the city’s streets and ensnared its youth, while also touching the highest levels of power. As Harry digs deeper, he must confront not only violent criminals but also painful truths buried in his own past.
Dark, complex, and emotionally charged, Phantom is a compelling read for fans of atmospheric Scandinavian crime fiction and detective stories that delve as deeply into the human heart as they do into the criminal mind.
