Description
The Devil’s Star is the fifth dark and gripping instalment in the Harry Hole crime thriller series, where Oslo’s streets become the hunting ground for a cunning and ritualistic killer. When a young woman is found murdered in her flat, one finger severed and a tiny red diamond shaped like a five-pointed star hidden behind her eyelid, Harry is reluctantly assigned to the case. Forced to work alongside his long-time nemesis, Detective Tom Waaler, Harry is already battling personal demons and facing dismissal from the force.
As more victims are discovered, a chilling pattern begins to emerge—each linked by the same pentagram-shaped clue. The investigation becomes a tense race against time to stop a serial killer whose motives remain shrouded in mystery. For Harry, the case is not only about catching a murderer but also navigating the dangerous games of those he works with.
Tense, atmospheric, and intricately plotted, The Devil’s Star is perfect for fans of gritty Scandinavian noir and complex, flawed detectives.
