Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole is now streaming on Netflix • From “the greatest contemporary writer of the thriller” (NYTBR) comes the latest installment in the bestselling Harry Hole series

“Harry Hole is an all-time great character—for me, a 100% buy-today-read-tonight delight.” —#1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child

HARRY HOLE THRIVES IN THE DARK. HE’S ABOUT TO GET PULLED INTO THE SPOTLIGHT.


A string of brutal killings rocks Oslo, each crime echoing a scene from a classic movie. When newly minted homicide investigator Ole Fauke realizes that the victims—an actress, a contractor, a loan shark—are all linked to a long-abandoned film project, he turns to veteran detective Harry Hole for guidance. Together, the two men uncover a buried past of ambition, betrayal, and obsession.

At the center lies Final Cut, a movie that was never completed, but which left deep scars on the tight-knit creative circle involved in the project. As the killer raises the stakes, staging each increasingly brutal death with cinematic precision, Harry and Oleg must untangle a web of old rivalries and hidden secrets before the final scene unspools. But in a case built on duplicity and illusion, there are no happy endings … and the camera may still be rolling.
