It includes the opening of the brand new Harry Hole thriller, The Thirst, and an exclusive new introduction by Jo Nesbo. Harry is out of his depth. Detective Harry Hole is meant to keep out of trouble. A young Norwegian girl taking a gap year in Sydney has been murdered, and Harry has been sent to Australia to assist in any way he can.

A tre anni dalle nozze con Rakel, Harry Hole, ormai vicino alla cinquantina, sembra aver trovato un suo equilibrio e la forza per tenersi alla larga dai guai. Da tempo ha chiuso con l'alcol e con le indagini, ha solo un tranquillo incarico come docente alla centrale di polizia di Oslo. Ma in citta due donne vengono uccise nella propria abitazione a distanza di pochissimi giorni, e una terza viene ritrovata ferita sulle scale di casa. A collegare le vittime, il fatto che tutte e tre fossero iscritte a Tinder. E un segno inconfondibile, quasi una firma raccapricciante, lasciata sui loro corpi.

MACBETH

Oslo im Weihnachtslichterglanz, ein kaltblütiger Mörder und ein Kommissar, dessen Leben aus den Fugen zu geraten droht. Harry Hole liefert sich ein atemloses Duell mit einem kroatischen Auftragskiller, in dem er einen ebenbürtigen Gegner findet.

One freezing night in Oslo Christmas shoppers gather to listen to a Salvation Army street concert. An explosion cuts through the music, and a man in uniform falls to the ground, shot in the head at point-blank range. Harry Hole and his team have little to work with: no immediate suspect, no weapon and no motive. But when the assassin discovers he has shot the wrong man, Harry Hole''s troubles have only just begun. After some exceptionally shrewd detective work, the team begins to close in on a suspected hit man, monitoring his credit card, false passport and the line to his employer. With no money, only six bullets and no place to stay in the bitter cold, the hit man becomes increasingly desperate. He will stop at nothing to eliminate his target. Moving at a breathless pace, The Redeemer is Jo Nesb''''s most gripping thriller yet.

Roger Brown le répète a qui veut l'entendre: il est le meilleur chasseur de têtes de toute la Norvège. Pas un collègue ne lui arrive a la cheville, et quand il décroche son téléphone, tous les DRH du pays ont le doigt sur la couture. Mais il faut toujours se méfier des apparences, même au sommet de la société. Roger Brown vit au-dessus de ses moyens: sa villa est trop grande et sa femme bien trop belle. Sans parler de la galerie d'art de cette dernière qui engloutit toutes ses finances. Il n'a donc pas le choix: alors que ses richissimes clients sont convoqués a des rendez-vous professionnels qu'il a lui-même mis sur pied, il en profite pour s'introduire chez eux et leur voler leurs oeuvres d'art. Un jour, le candidat parfait se présente: le Néerlandais Clas Greve. Ancien militaire spécialiste de la technologie GPS, il possède le profil idéal, ainsi qu'un Rubens. Si Roger Brown réussit a mettre la main sur ce tableau, ses problèmes financiers seront réglés. Et son épouse sera sienne pour toujours... Mais Roger va bien vite comprendre que, dans cette histoire, tout le monde veut quelque chose, et que personne n'a rien gratuitement. Pas sans tuer... La chasse aux têtes est ouverte!
