PRAISE FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER THE SNOWMAN
'This superb novel...deserves comparison with the first volume of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy'
SUNDAY TIMES
'Gradually tightens the narrative grip until, throughout the last 100 pages, the reader also finds it hard to breathe'
EVENING STANDARD
'Crime writing of the highest order, in which the characters are as strong as the story, where an atmosphere of evil permeates, and the tension never lets up'
MARCEL BERLINS, THE TIMES
PRAISE FOR JO NESBO
'Many authors know how to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Jo Nesbo's one of the few who keeps them there'
LINWOOD BARCLAY
'This is chilling, spectacular stuff, and anyone looking for serious, and seriously compelling, crime writing need look no further'
MARK BILLINGHAM
'Jo Nesbo is my new favorite thriller writer and Harry Hole my new hero'
MICHAEL CONNELLY

От вътрешната страна на обложката:
In the depths of winter, a killer stalks the city streets.
His victims are two young women, both found with twenty-four inexplicable puncture wounds, both drowned in their own blood. The crime scenes offer no clues, the media is reaching fever pitch, and the police are running out of options. There is only one man who can help them, and he doesn't want to be found.
Deeply traumatised by The Snowman investigation, which threatened the lives of those he holds most dear, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. But with his father seriously ill in hospital, Harry reluctantly agrees to return to Oslo. He has no intention of working on the case, but his instinct takes over when a third victim is found brutally murdered in a city park.
The victims appear completely unconnected to one another, but it's not long before Harry makes a discovery: the women all spent the night in an isolated mountain hostel. And someone is picking off the guests one by one.
A heart-stopping thriller from the bestselling author of the The Snowman, The Leopard is an international phenomenon that will grip you until the final page.
