SOON-TO-BE A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES, DISCOVER JO NESBO'S DEBUT IN TRANSLATION.

This is the novel that launched his career 20 years ago in a series that has gone on to sell over 60 million copies worldwide.

THE MARK OF THE DEVIL.

A young woman is murdered in her flat and a tiny red diamond in the shape of a five-pointed star is found behind her eyelid.

THE SIGN OF A KILLER.

Detective Harry Hole is assigned to the case, alongside his long-time adversary Tom Waaler, and initially wants no part in it. But Harry is already on his final warning and has little alternative but to drag himself out of his alcoholic stupor when it becomes apparent that Oslo has a serial killer on its hands.

IS THIS AN EVIL THAT ONLY HARRY HOLE CAN STOP?
