ITALIAN DESCRIPTION:
Due donne vengono trovate morte a Oslo - entrambe annegate nel loro stesso sangue. Quello che confonde la polizia è che le ferite sui volti delle vittime siano state provocate dall'interno delle loro bocche. Kaja Solness della Omicidi è mandata a rintracciare un uomo: l'unico specialista di omicidi seriali del dipartimento di polizia di Oslo. Il detective, alcolista, rude e pronto a fare sempre di testa sua, si è rintanato nella vasta, anonima Hong Kong. E come al solito in fuga ed è perseguitato dal suo caso precedente, e dai creditori. Ma quando scopre che la sua amata ragazza (con cui ha appena litigato) potrebbe cadere nella trappola del serial killer, torna a Oslo. Il suo nome è Harry Hole.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION:
In the depths of winter, a killer stalks the city streets. His victims are two young women, both found with twenty-four inexplicable puncture wounds, both drowned in their own blood. The crime scenes offer no clues, the media is reaching fever pitch, and the police are running out of options. There is only one man who can help them, and he doesn't want to be found. Deeply traumatised by the snowman investigation, which threatened the lives of those he holds most dear, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. But with his father seriously ill in hospital, Harry reluctantly agrees to return to Oslo. He has no intention of working on the case, but his instinct takes over when a third victim is found brutally murdered in a city park. The victims appear completely unconnected to one another, but it's not long before Harry makes a discovery: the women all spent the night in an isolated mountain hostel. And someone is picking off the guests one by one. A heart-stopping thriller from the bestselling author of "The Snowman", "The Leopard" is an international phenomenon that will grip you until the final page.
