{"product_id":"the-leopard-1","title":"The Leopard","description":"“With Henning Mankell having written his last Wallander novel and Stieg Larsson no longer with us, I have had to make the decision on whom to confer the title of best current Nordic writer of crime fiction . . . Jo Nesbø wins.” —Marcel Berlins, \u003ci\u003eThe Times \u003c\/i\u003e(U.K.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo young women are found murdered in Oslo, both drowned in their own blood. Media coverage quickly reaches fever pitch: Could this be the work of a serial killer? \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The crime scenes offer no coherent clues, the police investigation is stalled, and the one man who might be able to help doesn't want to be found. Traumatized by his last case, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. Yet when he is compelled, at last, to return to Norway—his father is dying—Harry's buried instincts begin to take over. After a female MP is discovered brutally murdered, nothing can keep him from the investigation. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e There is little to go on: a piece of rope, a scrap of wool, a bit of gravel, an unexpected connection between the victims. And Harry will soon come to understand that he is dealing with a psychopath for whom “insanity is a vital retreat,” someone who will put him to the test—in both his professional and personal lives—as never before. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ruthlessly intelligent and suspenseful, \u003ci\u003eThe Leopard\u003c\/i\u003e is Jo Nesbø's most electrifying novel yet—absolutely gripping from first to last.","brand":"OUATB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48203436785919,"sku":"*R0069084*","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/5550\/7364\/files\/13699113482297.jpg?v=1771610397","url":"https:\/\/shop.onceuponatimebooks.com\/products\/the-leopard-1","provider":"Once Upon a Time Books AR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
