Nemesis

Detective Harry Hole must use his maverick methods once again as he investigates a slew of brutal bank robberies and the suspicious suicide of a female artist in this clever and harrowing installment in the Harry Hole series from the author of The Snowman—soon to be a major motion picture, starring Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Ferguson, and J. K. Simmons.

Captured on closed-circuit television: A guy enters a bank in Oslo, places a pistol to the cashier's head, and orders her to count to 25. When he doesn't get his money fast enough, he pulls the trigger. After the young lady passes away, two million Norwegian kroner vanish into thin air.

Police Detective Harry Hole wakes up at home with a headache, no mobile phone, and no recollection of the previous twelve hours after a wild night out with his ex-girlfriend Anna Bethsen. The same day, Anna is found shot dead in her bedroom, making Hole a prime suspect in the investigation led by his hated adversary, Tom Waaler. As everything is going on, bank robberies continue in their unmatched brutality, forcing renegade investigator Hole to travel from the streets of Oslo to steamy Brazil in an attempt to solve two crimes and clean his record. However, Waaler isn't quite done with his lifelong foe just yet.
