Translated by Don Bartlett
Inspector Harry Hole has somehow embarrassed the department. As punishment, he's assigned to surveillance of neo-nazi activity in Oslo.
Expecting this to be a dull and annoying assignment, Harry is soon knee deep in murders; someone is targeting disgraced old solders and using an old, rare gun to do it. Travelling back decades, THE REDBREAST reflects on the Norwegian government's collaboration with the Nazis during WWII, a dark period for Norway.
I came to this series more than a little late and read the Harry Hole novels completely out of order. That said, THE REDBREAST was still wonderfully written, and is a compelling mystery from Jo Nesbo. I do recommend that you start with this one if you're going to venture into this series, to better appreciate the interaction of the characters.
