Harry Hole investigates the disappearance of a woman whose scarf is found on a mysteriously built snowman, a case that is complicated by subsequent abductions and a menacing letter. - Baker & Taylor
The award-winning Norwegian author ofThe Devil's Star finds the irascible Harry Hole investigating the disappearance of a woman whose scarf is found on a mysteriously built snowman, a case that is complicated by subsequent abductions and a menacing letter. - Random House, Inc.
Internationally acclaimed crime writer Jo Nesbøâs antihero police investigator, Harry Hole, is back: in a bone-chilling thriller that will take Hole to the brink of insanity.
Oslo in November. The first snow of the season has fallen. A boy named Jonas wakes in the night to find his mother gone. Out his window, in the cold moonlight, he sees the snowman that inexplicably appeared in the yard earlier in the day. Around its neck is his motherâs pink scarf.
Hole suspects a link between a menacing letter heâs received and the disappearance of Jonasâs motherâand of perhaps a dozen other women, all of whom went missing on the day of a first snowfall. As his investigation deepens, something else emerges: he is becoming a pawn in an increasingly terrifying game whose rules are devisedâand constantly revisedâby the killer.
Fiercely suspenseful, its characters brilliantly realized, its atmosphere permeated with evil,The Snowman is the electrifying work of one of the best crime writers of our time.
