![]() ![]() Nesbø’s books are full of twists and here’s the first one. For a miracle, he also manages to avoid going on any benders. ![]() Once back on his old stomping ground, Harry can’t resist picking up the case. Because this would be a very short book otherwise, Kaja Solness convinces Harry to come back to Norway, if only to say goodbye to his father. ![]() ![]() He seems content to finish the job of destroying himself with opium and horse racing on the other side of the world. Harry, however, is very, very reluctant to take on the case. There is a serial killer on the loose in Norway, and Harry is only person the Norwegian police think can solve it. The Leopard starts with a Norwegian police officer arriving in Hong Kong to retrieve our battered hero. Apart from the Glasgow grin and the jaw dislocation, all this happens before this book starts. Harry Hole has lost a finder, broken and later dislocated his jaw, and given himself a Glasgow grin–not to mention the fact that he’s a raging alcoholic that has lost his long term girlfriend and unofficially adopted son, his father is dying, and he fell in debt to a Hong Kong triad. Jo Nesbø has no problems beating up his protagonist, I’ll say that much. ![]()
