Book description
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SNOWMAN - OVER 9 MILLION BOOKS SOLD WORLDWIDE
THE MARK OF THE DEVIL, THE SIGN OF A KILLER...
A young woman is murdered in her flat and a tiny red diamond in the
shape of a five-pointed star is found behind her eyelid. Detective
Harry Hole is assigned to the case, alongside his long-time adversary
Tom Waaler and initially wants no part in it.
But Harry is already on his final warning and has little alternative
but to drag himself out of his alcoholic stupor when it becomes
apparent that Oslo has a serial killer on its hands.
Jo Nesbø is a musician, songwriter, economist and author. His first
crime novel featuring Harry Hole was published in Norway in 1997 and was
an instant hit, winning the Glass Key Award for best Nordic crime novel
(an accolade shared with Peter Høeg, Henning Mankell and Karin Fossum).
Another of the series was recently voted best Norwegian crime novel of
all time by Norwegian readers.
The Devil's Star
is the first of his novels to be translated into English
