Tras cuatro años de abstinencia, Jo Nesbø vuelve a la serie que lo ha coronado como «el rey del thriller» (Financial Times)
Harry Hole se ha mudado a Los Ángeles, ya nada le retiene en Noruega después de perder todo lo que daba sentido a su vida. Allí lo rescata de su deriva alcohólica Lucille, una veterana actriz de cine que, a cambio de su protección, le ofrece un techo, un traje a medida y unos zapatos de lujo.
Mientras, en Oslo, ha aparecido muerta una chica a la que buscaban hacía días, después de acudir a una fiesta organizada por Markus Røed, un magnate inmobiliario que era su sugar daddy. Otra joven relacionada con él sigue en paradero desconocido, por lo que la policía estrecha el cerco sobre el millonario. También les inquieta un detalle inusual en la cabeza de la primera víctima: parece la firma de alguien que desea volver a matar.
Dispuesto a limpiar su nombre, Røed envía a un emisario para contratar a Hole como investigador privado. Es tan suculenta la recompensa que con ella Harry podrá ayudar a Lucille a librarse de una peligrosa banda mexicana. Sin embargo, solo tendrá diez días para volver a su país y resolver el caso. El reloj avanza y algo ominoso, infeccioso como un parásito, flota en el ambiente: se acerca un eclipse de luna que pronto bañará de rojo la ciudad de Oslo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
After four years of abstinence, Jo Nesbo returns to the series that crowned him as the “king of thriller” (Financial Times).
Harry Hole has moved to Los Angeles, since there is nothing to keep him in Norway after losing everything that gave his life meaning. There, he is rescued from his alcoholic downward spiral by Lucille, a veteran movie actor who, in exchange for his protection, offers him a roof, a tailored suit, and a pair of luxury shoes.
Meanwhile, back in Oslo, a young woman who had been missing for days after attending a party hosted by Markus Roed, real estate mogul and her sugar daddy, has turned up dead. The whereabouts of yet another young woman connected to him are unknown, for which the police is closing in on the millionaire. An unusual detail over the head of the first victim worries the police... It looks like the signature of someone willing to kill again.
Determined to clear his name, Roed sends an emissary to hire Hole as a private investigator. It is such a handsome reward, that Harry could help Lucille be free of a dangerous Mexican gang. However, he has only ten days to return to his home country and solve the case. The clock is ticking and something ominous, infectious as a parasite, lingers in the air: a moon eclipse is almost upon them, ready to bathe the city of Oslo in red.
