The case gets rolling when a missing woman's scarf is found draped around a snowman, but it quickly snowballs, as more women go missing, and a twisted individual taunts Hole with confounding clues in the mail.Publisher's NoteIn Oslo, after the first snow of the season has fallen, a woman disappears, and a sinister snowman is left in her wake. As irascible detective Harry Hole realizes that this is only one of multiple disappearances, he begins to think a serial killer may be at work--and may be drawing in Hole personally and intentionally.Provided by publisher.Industry Reviews"Nesbo breathes new life into the serial killer subgenre, giving it a Norwegian twist and never losing his laconic hero in the process."(03/28/2011)"This is among the best entries in Nesbø's consistently superior series.

When Harry left Oslo again for Hong Kong-fleeing the traumas of life as a cop-he thought he was there for good. But then the unthinkable happened. The son of the woman he loved, lost, and still loves is arrested for murder: Oleg, the boy Harry helped raise but couldn't help deserting when he fled. Harry has come back to prove that Oleg is not a killer. Barred from rejoining the police force, he sets out on a solitary, increasingly dangerous investigation that takes him deep into the world of the most virulent drug to ever hit the streets of Oslo (and the careers of some of the city's highest officials), and into the maze of his own past, where he will find the wrenching truth that finally matters to Oleg, and to himself.Reviews"Intricate, breakneck plotting makes for an addictive page-turner in Phantom . . . Brings to mind Michael Connelly's tortured LAPD detective Harry Bosch." - Los Angeles Times "The Oslo depiction adds a contemporary heft to Phantom that expands Nesb?'s reach . . . Suggests more than a few parallels to the great television series 'The Wire'; perhaps it is one master's nod to another." - Boston Globe " Phantom will maintain Jo Nesb?'s unstoppable momentum." - The Independent (UK) "Easily the most troubling and heartfelt of this excellent series, Phantom is one of the finest suspense novels to come out of Scandinavia to date." - BookPage "Nesb?'s true subject is the deterioration of the social fabric that has made Oslo such a civilized place." - New York Times Book Review "A compulsive page-turner . . . [ Phantom ] is expertly plotted and structured, with all the requisite twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. The latter half of the book is also relentlessly paced, reading at times like a Scandinavian police version of the Jason Bourne series." - The Independent on Sunday (UK) "Far more than a procedural . . . Personal and topical and hip, as usual." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Nesb? has written a cunningly constructed thriller . . . running at Hollywood summer blockbuster speed." - Richmond Times-Dispatch "Superb on every level . . . Nesb? begins with an emotionally gripping family drama but surrounds it with an elaborate, beautifully constructed plot involving [a] new drug and the ruthless man who rules its distribution. The subplots, plot twists (especially the last one), and the fully fleshed supporting characters-many of whom could drive their own novels-are all testament to Nesb?'s remarkable talent, but finally, it all comes back to Harry and the pain he endures in trying to carve out a separate peace from a world and a past that won't let him go." - Booklist (starred) "A first-class thriller . . . Contains several twists, some of which will make you gasp and at least one of which will make you cry . . . Phantom is Nesb?'s finest novel, a novel for grown-ups, which triumphantly proves, as Harry says, that 'humans are a perverted and damaged species and there is no cure, only relief.'" - Evening Standard (UK) "Deeply moving . . . This is Harry's most personal case." - Publishers Weekly (starred) "Norwegian crime fiction writer Nesb? is one of the best . . . Oslo's gritty and violent drug world is brought to life through the characters. The fast-paced plots are twisted and riveting, and the two stories collide to reveal a shocking climax. Nesb? is on par with the original Scandinavian duo Maj Sj?wall and Per Wahl??, authors of the Martin Beck series." - Library Journal "The internationally popular detective series by the Norwegian author builds to a blockbuster climax [in Phantom ] . . . Those hooked by [ The Snowman ] or earlier ones should make their way here as quickly as they can . . . Devastating for protagonist and reader alike." - Kirkus Reviews (starred) " Phantom is an astoundingly good novel. Nesb? has done it again." - Trouw (Netherlands) "Another excellent example of why Nesb? has such a firm grasp on the Nordic crime crown . . . Nesb?'s portrait of venality and corruption is bleakly angry, his peek beneath Oslo's gleaming fa?ade disturbing; a fascination with addiction adds to his writing's unsettling intensity. But he doesn't let this overwhelm a tightly coiled plot." - Metro (UK) "Once again Nesb? demonstrates that he is a crime writer of absolute world class . . . You will understand what I mean when you read Phantom. And please do, this is a masterpiece of the genre. Jo Nesb? just gets better and better." - V?sterbottens Folkblad (Sweden) "Perhaps it was unrealistic to expect Nesb? to reach the dizzying heights of his two previous books, The Snowman and The Leopard . How wrong I was. Phantom is arguably a much better book than any previous instalments.========================================================================================================================== Shipping to U.S. addresses will by Media Mail (upgrade to Priority Mail available upon request and payment of extra cost).
