Police (Norwegian: Politi, 2013) is a crime novel by Norwegian writer Jo Nesbø.[1] It is the tenth novel in Nesbø's Harry Hole series.[2]
Plot
[edit ]The tenth in the Oslo crime series featuring detective Harry Hole is the most sizeable entry yet; a twisting-turning saga that pits the gangly maverick against that most feared of serial killers, the cop killer. This murderer has a very devious modus operandi, luring police, and ex-police, involved in unsolved murders to the scene of the original crime to perform a copycat killing there, seemingly as a punishment for having failed to solve the original case.
Reception
[edit ]On The Omnivore, based on British press, the book received an "omniscore" of 4.5 out of 5.[3]
