Nemesis
Footage of a surveillance camera-a hooded man enters an Oslo bank, holds a barrel of a gun to an employee’s head and orders her to count up to twenty-five. When he does not take the money at the time he sets, he pulls the trigger. The woman falls dead and two million Norwegian krones disappear without a trace.
After a long drinking binge at Anna Becken’s old girlfriend’s house, Detective Harry Holle wakes up in his home with a headache, no cell phone, and no memory of the last twelve hours of his life. On the same day Anna is dead with a bullet in her head in her bedroom, and Holle is the main suspect.
Meanwhile, the bank robberies continue with unceasing brutality, and Holle starts a dizzying race from the Norwegian capital to hot Brazil to clear his name. But Nemesis, the goddess of revenge, has yet to say her last word.
Part of the Harry Hole series (published 2002, translated 2008) series – see the full reading order on the Jo Nesbo Books in Order page.
