Just when I thought Harry was done for good…

Here comes adventure #13–and it starts with Harry being all but physically dead. He drags himself from his state of apathetic detachment to assist an inept (corrupt) department of justice to finding said justice by use of his own criminal methods. It’s a mess. Really. Just like Harry. 

But still such addictive entertainment. 

I was glad Katrine was back, and Nesbø returns some other characters to us, adding to their stories and weaving them into this one. And while I think I guessed the culprit by 3/4 of the way through, I could never be quite certain… not until the very end…

…which has been left open for Harry to return to us, if he will, in another future addition to this unbeatable Nordic Noir series. He’s left some messes he needs to clean up, and there are several extremely dirty and corrupt characters hanging about Oslo’s system of law enforcement and halls of justice he could expose.

Get in there, Harry…
