Harry Hole se ha mudado a Los Angeles, ya nada le retiene en Noruega despues de perder todo lo que daba sentido a su vida. Alli lo rescata de su deriva alcoholica Lucille, una veterana actriz de cine que, a cambio de su proteccion, le ofrece un techo, un traje a medida y unos zapatos de lujo.

Mientras, en Oslo, ha aparecido muerta una chica a la que buscaban hacia dias, despues de acudir a una fiesta organizada por Markus Roed, un magnate inmobiliario que era su sugar daddy. Otra joven relacionada con el sigue en paradero desconocido, por lo que la policia estrecha el cerco sobre el millonario. Tambien les inquieta un detalle inusual en la cabeza de la primera victima: parece la firma de alguien que desea volver a matar.

Dispuesto a limpiar su nombre, Roed envia a un emisario para contratar a Hole como investigador privado. Es tan suculenta la recompensa que con ella Harry podra ayudar a Lucille a librarse de una peligrosa banda mexicana. Sin embargo, solo tendra diez dias para volver a su pais y resolver el caso. El reloj avanza y algo ominoso, infeccioso como un parasito, flota en el ambiente: se acerca un eclipse de luna que pronto banara de rojo la ciudad de Oslo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER * This killer will get inside your head. * Brilliant rogue police investigator Harry Hole is back, this time as an outsider assembling his own team to help find a serial killer who is murdering young women in Oslo in the next novel in the internationally best-selling series.

"One of today's most interesting thriller writers." -Lee Child, author of the #1 best-selling Jack Reacher series

THE HUNT IS ON AND THE POLICE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME. Two young women are missing, their only connection a party they both attended, hosted by a notorious real-estate magnate. When one of the women is found murdered, the police discover an unusual signature left by the killer, giving them reason to suspect he will strike again.

THEY'RE FACING A KILLER UNLIKE ANY OTHER. And exposing him calls for a detective like no other. But the legendary Harry Hole is gone-fired from the force, drinking himself to oblivion in Los Angeles. It seems that nothing can entice him back to Oslo. Until the woman who saved Harry's life is put in grave danger, and he has no choice but to return to the city that haunts him and track down the murderer.

CATCHING HIM WILL PUSH HARRY TO THE LIMIT. He'll need to bring together a misfit team of former operatives to accomplish what he can't do alone: stop an unstoppable killer. But as the evidence mounts, it becomes clear that there is more to this case than meets the eye...
