Ilustration Supposing Books Phantom (Harry Hole #9)
Following from Jo Nesbø's electrifying international best-sellers The Snowman and The Leopard, now comes Phantom, which plunges the brilliant, deeply troubled, now former police officer Harry Hole into a full-tilt investigation on which his own tenuous future will come to depend. When Harry left Oslo again for Hong Kong—fleeing the traumas of life as a cop—he thought he was there for good. But then the unthinkable happened. The son of the woman he loved, lost, and still loves is arrested for murder: Oleg, the boy Harry helped raise but couldn't help deserting when he fled. Harry has come back to prove that Oleg is not a killer. Barred from rejoining the police force, he sets out on a solitary, increasingly dangerous investigation that takes him deep into the world of the most virulent drug to ever hit the streets of Oslo (and the careers of some of the city's highest officials), and into the maze of his own past, where he will find the wrenching truth that finally matters to Oleg, and to himself.Itemize Books During Phantom (Harry Hole #9)

I loved The Snowman and couldn't believe Nesbo could come up with something even better than that but he has managed it, at least for me. Harry Hole has returned after 3 years spent in Hong Kong and this case is personal for him. On the surface Oslo looks different, not as many druggies on the corners, not as many pushers readily apparent. Yet this is all an illusion and what follows is a journey through the dark underbelly of city infused with a new drug called Violin. Loved how Harry isHere's the thing about the recent popularity of Scandinavian writers and if you're a Nordic Thriller aficionado you couldn't care less about the distinction: the novels are depressed, somber, filled with ennui, a lack of humor, with flawed characters if not suffused with a strong tendency towards determinism; in short, whether you're reading Stieg Larsson, Henning Mankell, or Jo Nesbo you are likely reading Literary Naturalism. If you live in Scandinavia you might consider this par for the
Up close and personal because what is personal for Harry, Nesbo has made personal for his readers as well. One of those Nesbo's where I was continuously being chased. Chased by the bad guys doing their bad deeds. The thing is that Nesbo's guys are not 'bad' guys or 'good' guys. That would be simple and life is not simple. So he gives us people and what life gives them and what they choose to do and then the consequences and their consequences, and on and on. So I end up understanding why a

Such a good book but only because I've read all the previous Harry Hole books so I know the back story which is REALLY important... FUCKING CLIFFHANGER!!!!!
I just finished this. I don't know what to say. I'm a blown away. I want friends to hurry up and read this book so we can discuss it. Lord have mercy, that was intense!I have made no secret of my love for Nesbo, but he has outdone himself with this novel. It starts like any other of his awesome books, but by the halfway point, you realize you are in for a ride. He keeps answering the questions you thought you had.....but you still have 100 pages left. Well, that's because there are questions you
WTF 😱😱😱????Harry?! Harry?! Harry?! Are you there somewhere?!!!
I'm giving this one four stars because although it finished superbly it started very slowly and for the first third of the book I was thinking it was not very good. But then it got going and positively rampaged towards a shocking finale. I'm still not sure quite what to make of such an amazing cliff hanger. I may just have to dash out tomorrow and buy the next book to see what happens. I am so glad that I have read all the Harry Hole books in order because the way they have developed is so good.
