From the back cover
"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."
Review
Phantom, one of my favorite Harry
Hole novels, is one of the most personal entries in the series thus far. It has
the usual in-depth character development (many of them ongoing), tight and
corkscrew plotting, pop culture references, suspense and other genre elements
that make Nesbø’s work addictive and top-notch. Be warned that there is more
heartbreak than usual in this one, and its ending is a cliffhanger. When
reading Phantom, you might want to
make sure you have its sequel, Police,
on hand.
