The intrepid cops of Oslo law enforcement pull out all the stops when a cop killer starts on a shocking spree in Jo Nesbo's Police.
Police is the latest in the Harry Hole crime series, even though the fate of Harry Hole--the troubled detective who seemed to be slightly to mostly dead-ish at the end of the last novel--isn't revealed until a chunk of this one is underway.
The spotlight turns on Hole's established supporting cast, and when one of those falls victim to the killer, Hole has no choice but to put himself back into play.
Nesbo's great crime series gets a fast-paced entry, which helps smooth over the grisly parts for the casual reader. Another downbeat ending, where the reader is once again reminded that good never quite triumphs over evil, provides a dour Scandinavian coda.
But Nesbo's thrillers are top flight in any language. I listened to a good audiobook reading on loan from the New Castle-Henry County Public Library in New Castle, Indiana.
