      »Erstklassige Unterhaltung und Spannung wie wir sie nur von Jo Nesbø kennen.« NRK Minnesota, 2016: Ermittler Bob Oz ist seit dem Unfalltod seiner dreijährigen Tochter nicht mehr er selbst. Seine Frau verlässt ihn, Freunde ziehen sich zurück. Allein die knallharte Ermittlerarbeit lässt ihn seine Dämonen für einige Stunden vergessen: Oz jagt einen Mörder, der einen Rachefeldzug gegen Drogenbosse und Waffenhändler in Minneapolis führt. Und immer ist der ihm einen Schritt voraus, trickst Kameras aus, hinterlässt irreführende Spuren. Erst als bekannt wird, dass er einen Anschlag auf den Bürgermeister plant, kann Oz ihm eine Falle stellen. Doch wer stellt hier wem eine Falle? »Ein absolut atemberaubender Fall vor einem mehr als realistischen Hintergrund. Und doch ist Minnesota von der ersten bis zur letzten Zeile vor allem eins: große Unterhaltung!« Dagsavisen

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.

      In een bankloket in Oslo krijgt de chef 25 seconden om de kluis te legen. Hij faalt en de overvaller schiet een vrouwelijke medewerker. Ondanks dat alles op video staat, staat de Oslo-politie machteloos tegenover de brute moord. Tegelijkertijd wordt Harry Hole naar een andere plaats delict geroepen, die de woning van zijn ex-vriendin blijkt te zijn. Nu is zij dood, en Harry's aartsvijand Tom Waaler aarzelt niet om te profiteren van het feit dat Harry de laatste was die de jonge vrouw in leven zag. Oslo wordt opgeschrikt door meer bankovervallen en Harry's wanhopige zoektocht naar de waarheid leidt hem naar een dorp in Brazilië en terug naar zijn eigen duistere verleden.
