Я — убийца. Убиваю людей по заказу. Можно сказать, ни на что другое я и не гожусь. Однако у меня есть одна проблема: я не могу причинить вред женщине. Наверное, это из-за мамы.

The author of the internationally best-selling Harry Hole series now gives us an electrifying stand-alone novel set amid Oslo's hierarchy of corruption, from which one very unusual young man is about to propel himself into a mission of brutal revenge. Sonny Lofthus, in his early thirties, has been in prison for the last dozen years: serving time for crimes he didn't commit. In exchange, he gets an uninterrupted supply of heroin—and the unexpected stream of fellow prisoners seeking out his uncanny abilities to soothe and absolve. His addiction started when his father committed suicide rather than be exposed as a corrupt cop, and now Sonny is the center of a vortex of corruption: prison staff, police, lawyers, a desperate priest—all of them focused on keeping him stoned and jailed, and all of them under the thumb of Oslo's crime overlord, the Twin. When Sonny learns some long-hidden truths about his father he makes a brilliant escape, and begins hunting down the people responsible for the hideous crimes he's paid for. But he's also being hunted, by the Twin, the cops, and the only person who knows the ultimate truth that Sonny is seeking. The question is, what will he do when they've cornered him?

La police n’a aucune piste jusqu’au jour ou l’inspecteur Harry Hole reçoit une lettre signée «le bonhomme de neige», lui annonçant de nouvelles victimes. Pour chaque femme disparue, un bonhomme de neige apparaît… Derriere cette mise en scene macabre se cache un tueur diabolique, pret a tout pour défier le célebre Harry Hole.

Dice di chiamarsi Ulf, e cerca un posto dove nascondersi. Cosí ha viaggiato per 1800 chilometri su treni e autobus fino a un paesino sperduto, nell'estremo nord della Norvegia. Aveva dei buoni motivi per tradire il Pescatore, il signore della droga con cui lavorava a Oslo, ma ora ha i suoi sicari alle calcagna. Inutile continuare a scappare. A Kåsund, almeno, ha trovato un capanno da caccia, una donna quasi bella e un ragazzino che non vedeva l'ora di parlare con un forestiero. Non dovrà attendere a lungo per scoprire se, anche per uno come lui, è possibile una redenzione. Oppure se davvero la speranza non è altro che un'invenzione del diavolo.

Durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, un gruppo di giovani soldati norvegesi era stato scelto e inviato a combattere a fianco dell’esercito tedesco alle porte di Leningrado. Una volta tornati in patria, quegli uomini avevano trovato ad attenderli un’accusa di alto tradimento e il carcere duro. Ora, a distanza di sessant’anni, quell’inferno non è ancora finito, e uno dopo l’altro iniziano a morire in circostanze oscure. In questa torbida vicenda si imbatte Harry Hole, poliziotto dell’antiterrorismo dal grilletto facile e con un debole per l’alcol. Lui la violenza è abituato a guardarla negli occhi ogni giorno, senza tregua. E mentre indaga sulla minaccia di un attentato ai danni dei reali di Norvegia, che si fa ogni giorno più concreta, uno strano ritrovamento attira la sua attenzione: i monti intorno a Oslo gli restituiscono alcuni bossoli di un Märklin, un fucile di precisione tedesco di cui erano stati costruiti solo trecento esemplari. E sulle tracce di quest’insolita arma si addentrerà in una palude di tradimenti e vendette da cui sarà difficile riemergere.

Wenn es nach den Behörden gegangen wäre, hätte es dieses Buch niemals gegeben. Aber die Wahrheit muss endlich ans Licht - ganz egal, wie schlimm sie ist. Denn selbst wenn wir uns das Gegenteil wünschen, so sind sie dennoch dort draußen: Tiere, von denen du noch nie gehört hast. Und denen du nie begegnen möchtest.

Negato come rapinatore di banche perché incasina le fughe. Negato come pappone perché si affeziona alle prostitute. Negato come pusher o esattore di crediti perché non sa tenere i conti. Nel giro della mala, l'unica cosa che Olav è capace di fare è il liquidatore, il killer. Ma quando Daniel Hoffmann, il boss della droga di Oslo, gli ordina di uccidere sua moglie perché lo tradisce, persino lui capisce di essere finito in un mare di guai. Se poi, anziché uccidere la donna, Olav se ne innamora, è chiaro che il mare è destinato a diventare un oceano. Ormai braccato, gli resta una sola speranza: liquidare Hoffmann prima che Hoffmann liquidi lui, magari chiedendo aiuto al suo peggior nemico. Auguri.
