He'll get inside your head. You've never seen a killer like this. Neither have the police. And for Detective Harry Hole, this time it's personal.

THE HUNT IS ON AND THE POLICE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

Two young women are missing, their only connection being that they attended the same party, hosted by a notorious businessman. When one of the women is found murdered, the police discover an unusual signature left by the killer, giving them reason to suspect he will strike again.

THEY'RE FACING A KILLER UNLIKE ANY OTHER.

And catching him calls for a detective like no other. But the legendary Harry Hole is gone. Struck off the force, down and out in Los Angeles, it seems that nothing can entice him back to Oslo. Until the woman who saved Harry's life is put in grave danger, and he is forced to join the hunt for the murderer.

TO CATCH HIM WILL PUSH HARRY TO THE LIMIT.

He'll need to bring together a misfit team of former operatives to do what he can't do alone: stop an unstoppable killer. But as the evidence mounts, it becomes clear that there is more to this case than meets the eye.

For Harry, this just got personal.

About the author

Jo Nesbo

Jo Nesbo is one of the world’s bestselling crime writers, with The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son, The Thirst and Knife all topping the Sunday Times bestseller charts. He’s an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 50 languages, selling over 45 million copies around the world.

Before becoming a crime writer, Nesbo played football for Norway’s premier league team Molde, but his dream of playing professionally for Spurs was dashed when he tore ligaments in his knee at the age of eighteen. After three years military service he attended business school and formed the band Di Derre (‘Them There’). They topped the charts in Norway, but Nesbo continued working as a financial analyst, crunching numbers during the day and gigging at night. When commissioned by a publisher to write a memoir about life on the road with his band, he instead came up with the plot for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat.

Praise for Killing Moon

Nesbo deploys all the key ingredients of a cracking good thriller...the ticking clock, the tension expertly ratcheted ever upwards, the changing scenery, the constantly shifting goalposts and the effortless, triumphant outpacing of the reader's ability to guess what's going to happen

Guardian

The undisputed king of Scandinavian crime fiction

The Times

Nesbo deserves to be crowned the king of all crime thriller writers

Sunday Express

Jo Nesbø is one of today's most interesting thriller writers, and Harry Hole is an all-time great character - for me, a 100% buy-today-read-tonight delight.

Lee Child

Nesbo is unassailably the reigning king of Nordic noir as well as a global crime-writing superstar... [in] Killing Moon...Nesbo is back on gruesome form

Financial Times

Jo Nesbo is back with the weirdest murder in modern fiction... compelling

Sunday Times

This is one of the darkest entries in the series, with a serial killer whose methods are inventively macabre even by Nesbo's standards. But with Harry in the unfamiliar role of private eye, assembling an eccentric team to help him, and rubbing his old police colleagues up the wrong way, it's also one of the most fun

Daily Express

Killing Moon... [is] classic Nesbo but even by his standards the killer's creepy'

The Sun

Breathtaking... Harry Hole returns in cracking form

Sunday Times

Not just an unbearably tense thriller but another of Nesbo's studies in love and loneliness... there are few greater crime writers

The Times, Crime Book of the Month

Like Lee Child with Jack Reacher, Nesbo has become synonymous with his fictional detective

You

Harry Hole is the ultimate anti-hero

Sunday Independent

Jo Nesbo has always had a taste for the macabre, but it takes a breathtaking turn in Killing Moon

Sunday Times, *Summer Reads of 2023*

Unbearably tense and another of Jo Nesbo’s piercing studies in love and loneliness

Daily Telegraph, *Books of the Year*
