The Redbreast is the third installment in Jo Nesbo’s internationally bestselling Harry Hole series and the first to be translated into English. With chilling suspense and a rich historical backdrop, this novel marks a turning point in the series, blending past and present in a gripping Nordic noir thriller.
When a rare and highly specialized sniper rifle—favored by assassins—is smuggled into Norway, Detective Harry Hole is quietly assigned to investigate. What begins as a low-profile case soon escalates when a former WWII Nazi sympathizer is found murdered, his throat slit. Then, Harry’s former partner turns up dead—after trying to contact him just before her murder.
As Harry connects the threads between the weapon, a dark wartime secret, and a killer with a personal mission, he uncovers a conspiracy rooted in betrayal and revenge. With each discovery, the stakes rise, and the link between the victims becomes more ominous—and more personal.
A story of political extremism, hidden identities, and the consequences of buried history, The Redbreast is a complex, atmospheric thriller that solidifies Harry Hole’s reputation as one of the most compelling detectives in crime fiction.
