Killing Moon: The NEW Sunday Times bestselling thriller (Harry Hole, 13)

Product Information

Meanwhile, back in Oslo, two women have disappeared after attending a party held by billionaire property developer Markus Røed.

The seventh in the Hole series, The Snowman, was adapted into a Hollywood film starring Michael Fassbender as Harry, alongside Silo star Rebecca Ferguson and Top Gun ace Val Kilmer. In this ambitious entry in the Hogarth Shakespeare series, bestseller Nesbø (The Thirst and 10 other Harry Hole novels) transmutes Macbeth into a crime novel set in 1970s Scotland. I’d counter with this question: Where is the value in perpetuating the idea of women as victims, in need of a mediocre old man to play hero? Harry saw the passenger door of the white Camaro open, and a man in sunglasses and a red polo shirt emerge.He almost closed his eyes and squeezed his fingers around the credit card, so his hand formed a chisel. We at Penguin Random House Australia acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians and the first storytellers of the lands on which we live and work.

Running towards the door, he burst it open with his elbow, was blinded by sunlight and almost stumbled on the two steps down from the porch. The 12 tales in this impressive collection from bestseller Nesbø (the Harry Hole series) blend taut suspense with sharply limned characters. Killing Moon is not just an unbearably tense thriller but another of Nesbø’s studies in love and loneliness. Struck off the force, down and out in Los Angeles, it seems that nothing can entice him back to Oslo.There are multiple paths of peril for the characters, and just when you think everything has become clear, the ground shifts. A book begging to be read on the beach, with the sun warming the sand and salt in the air: pure escapism. Storytelling that relies on tired cliches that frame women as hapless gold-digging victims who are lucky to have an ancient, alcoholic ex-cop on their case is a literary tradition we can do without.
