In Jo Nesbø's "Police," Oslo is gripped by terror as a serial killer targets police officers at the very crime scenes they once failed to solve. The murders are disturbingly brutal, and the media response is hysterical, plunging the city into a state of panic. Amidst this escalating crisis, the one man capable of solving such a complex and gruesome case, Detective Harry Hole, is conspicuously absent and unable to help. For years, Harry has been the cornerstone of Oslo's major criminal investigations, his brilliant insights and dedication saving countless lives. However, now, with his own loved ones facing grave danger, Harry finds himself on the sidelines, powerless to protect anyone—least of all himself. As the body count rises and the hunt for the killer intensifies, the city desperately needs Harry, but his personal struggles threaten to engulf him entirely, leaving Oslo vulnerable to a meticulously cruel predator.
