Nemesis / Jo Nesbo (Harry Hole #4)

Nemesis is the fourth electrifying novel in Jo Nesbo’s bestselling Harry Hole series, a masterclass in Nordic noir where revenge, guilt, and deception intertwine in deadly fashion.

When a masked man walks into a bank in Oslo and kills a cashier in cold blood, Detective Harry Hole is put on the case. But just as the investigation begins, Harry wakes up after dinner with an old flame—unable to remember the past twelve hours. Soon after, the woman is found dead under suspicious circumstances. Then the emails start: someone knows what happened, and they’re threatening to expose him.

With his name and reputation at stake, Harry must juggle two seemingly unconnected cases—a deadly bank robber and a possible murder—while battling doubts from within the police force and his own deteriorating memory. As the clues grow darker and the pressure mounts, he races to uncover the truth before he becomes the next victim.

Nesbo delivers a taut, layered thriller full of moral complexity, vivid characters, and relentless suspense that keeps readers guessing until the final twist.
