A teaser trailer for the new Harry Hole thriller by Jo Nesbo - The Leopard. Can Harry Hole return to Oslo and help the struggling police catch a new serial killer?

In the depths of winter, a killer stalks the city streets. His victims are two young women, both found with twenty-four inexplicable puncture wounds, both drowned in their own blood. The crime scenes offer no clues, the media is reaching fever pitch, and the police are running out of options. There is only one man who can help them, and he doesn't want to be found.

Deeply traumatised by The Snowman investigation, which threatened the lives of those he holds most dear, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. But with his father seriously ill in hospital, Harry reluctantly agrees to return to Oslo. He has no intention of working on the case, but his instinct takes over when a third victim is found brutally murdered in a city park.

The victims appear completely unconnected to one another, but it's not long before Harry makes a discovery: the women all spent the night in an isolated mountain hostel. And someone is picking off the guests one by one.

'It's fascinating to discover, from the incident details, what it is like to live for much of the time in a world under snow...Nesbo writes beautifully' - Jessica Mann, Literary Review

'There are passages so anatomically gruesome... that they can only be properly read through the gaps between protecting fingers' - Prospect
