The night the first snow falls a young boy wakes to find his mother gone. He walks through the silent house, but finds only wet footprints on the stairs. In the garden looms a solitary figure: a snowman bathed in cold moonlight, its black eyes glaring up at the bedroom windows. Round its neck is his mother's pink scarf. Inspector Harry Hole is convinced there is a link between the disappearance and a menacing letter he received some months earlier. As Harry and his team delve into unsolved case files, they discover that an alarming number of wives and mothers have gone missing over the years. When a second woman disappears Harry's suspicions are confirmed : he is a pawn in a deadly game. For the first time in his career Harry finds himself confronted with a serial killer operating on his turf, a killer who will drive him to the brink of insanity.

This is the 20th anniversary edition of the first book in the internationally best-selling Harry Hole series. 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. He's not supposed to get too involved...When the team unearths a string of unsolved murders and disappearances, nothing will stop Harry from finding out the truth. The hunt for a serial killer is on, but the murderer will talk only to Harry...But he might just be the next victim.

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 per lui non ci sono piú casi e indagini sul campo, solo un tranquillo incarico come docente alla scuola di polizia di Olso. 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.

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.

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!
