The execution-style murder of a Swedish housewife looks like a simple case even though there is no obvious suspect. But then Wallander learns of a determined stalker, and soon enough, the cops catch up with him. But when his alibi turns out to be airtight, they realize that what seemed a simple crime of passion is actually far more complex—and dangerous. The search for the truth behind the killing eventually uncovers an assassination plot, and Wallander soon finds himself in a tangle with both the secret police and a ruthless foreign agent. Combining compelling insights into the sinister side of modern life with a riveting tale of international intrigue, The White Lioness keeps you on the knife-edge of suspense.

When Harry Hole left Oslo again for Hong Kong, trying to forget about his actions in The Leopard and to put his life as a cop behind him, he thought he was away for good. But then Oleg—the boy Harry helped raise but deserted, the son of the woman he lost but still loves—was arrested for murder, and now Harry has returned to prove that Oleg is not a killer. Barred from rejoining the police force, Harry sets out on a solitary, increasingly dangerous investigation that takes him deep into the underworld of the most virulent drug ever peddled in Oslo, and into the maze of his own past, where he will uncover the truth that finally matters to Oleg, and to himself. One of Europe's most critically acclaimed and successful crime writers, Jo Nesbø won the highly prestigious Glass Key Award for Best Nordic Crime Novel with his first novel featuring the brilliant but alcoholic detective Harry Hole, while The Redbreast, his first Harry Hole mystery in English, was voted as the best Norwegian crime novel of all time by Norwegian book club readers. "Nesbø wrings out the tension, by turns painful and delicious, with consummate skill. The surprises come like an avalanche as the end nears."—Sunday Express (London) "Jo Nesbø writes tightly plotted, claustrophobic thrillers with plenty of snow and a brutal yet hopelessly romantic policeman hero.... They're also exuberantly, ingeniously gruesome."—Sunday Telegraph (London)
