The setting: Oslo. A sweltering hot summer.
The puzzle: Five points on a star, five fingers on a hand, and every five days, a new victim. The first murdered woman was missing a finger and had a red star-shaped diamond under her eyelid. A ring with the same star-shaped red diamond adorns the severed finger of the second woman. And the murders continue…
The inspector: Blurred by drink, out of favor with his department, Harry Hole will be called to solve the puzzle alongside his colleague and personal enemy Tom Waaler, whom he suspects is involved in dirty dealings.
In his search for the truth, Hole will find himself hunted and forced to make difficult decisions about his professional future.
