Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Grainy CCTV footage shows a man walking into a bank and putting a gun to a cashier's head. He tells her to count to twenty-five. When he doesn't get his money in time, she is executed. Detective Harry Hole is assigned to the case.
While Harry's girlfriend is away in Russia, an old flame gets in touch. He goes to dinner at her house and wakes up at home with no memory of the past twelve hours. The same morning the girl is found shot dead in her bed. Harry begins to receive threatening e-mails. Is someone trying to frame him for this unexplained death? Meanwhile the bank robberies continue with unparalleled savagery.
Gripping and surprising, Nemesis is the new thriller by one of the biggest stars of Scandinavian crime fiction.

Rated by buyers -
Nemesis is another brilliant sucess by the Norwegian author Jo Nesbo. His novels starring police inspector Harry Hole are suspenseful and so intricately plotted as to put American authors, even my favorite Michael Connelly, to shame. Nesbo constructs layer upon layer and you'll need to pay attention to follow the action. Why this book hasn't found a U.S. publisher is beyond me.
