Dust jacket has some wrinkling on the edges and corners, Book has remainder mark on the bottom, dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, wrinkling on the spine edges, and light shelf wear. Translated from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett. Rutlessly intelligent and suspenseful, The Leopard is Jo Nesbø 's most electrifying novel yet - absolutely gripping from first to last. 9.5"x6.5", 517 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Two young women are found murdered in Oslo, both drowned in their own blood. Media coverage quickly reaches fever pitch: Could this be the world of a serial killer? The crime scenes offer no coherent clues, the police investigation is stalled, and the one man who might be able to help doesn't want to be found. Traumatized by his last case, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. Yet when he is compelled, at last, to return to Norway - his father is dying - Harry's buried instincts begin to take over. After a female MP is discovered brutally murdered, nothing can keep him from the investigation. There is little to go on: a piece of rope, a scrap of wool, a bit of gravel, an unexpected connection between the victims. And Harry will soon come to understand that he is dealing with a psychopath for whom "insanity is a vital retreat," someone who will put him to the test - in both his professional and personal lives - as never before.. Remainder. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Very Good
