The Devil's star : a Harry Hole novel

Oslo is sweltering in the summer heat when a young woman is murdered in her flat. One finger has been cut off and a tiny red diamond in the shape of a pentagram--a five-pointed star--is found under her eyelid. Detective Harry Hole is assigned the case with Tom Waaler, a colleague he neither likes nor trusts. He believes Tom is behind a gang of arms smugglers--and the murder of his partner. But Harry, an off-the-rails alcoholic, is barely holding on to his job and has little choice but to play nice. Five days later, another woman is reported missing. When her severed finger is found adorned with a star-shaped red diamond ring, Harry fears a serial killer is on the loose. Determined to find the killer and expose the crooked Tom Waaler, Harry discovers the two investigations melding in unexpected ways. But pursuing the truth comes at a price, and soon Harry finds himself on the run and forced to make difficult decisions about a future he may not live to see ...

  • "A young woman is murdered in her Oslo flat. One finger has been severed from her left hand, and behind her eyelid is secreted a tiny red diamond in the shape of a five-pointed star - a pentagram, the devil's star. Detective Harry Hole is assigned to the case with his long-time adversary Tom Waaler and initially wants no part in it. But Harry is already on notice to quit the force and is left with little alternative but to drag himself out of his alcoholic stupor and get to work. A wave of similar murders is on the horizon. An emerging pattern suggests that Oslo has a serial killer on its hands, and the five-pointed devil's star is key to solving the riddle."

  • "Dušeča poletna vročina je izpraznila Oselske ulice in policijsko centralo na Grünlandu, ko v petem nadstropju stanovanjske hiše najdejo truplo mlade ženske. Morilec ji je odrezal prst na roki in na njeno veko položil peterokrak diamant. Nato čez pet dni umre nova žrtev. In ko se v pisemski ovojnici z njenim prstom zalesketa nov diamantni pentagram, ni nobenega dvoma več: v Oslu imajo opravka s serijskim morilcem. Brezskrbnega poletja je konec. Število žrtev se vsakih pet dni samo še povečuje."@sl
