Plot/Summary:
Homicide Inspector Harry Hole agrees to have dinner at the apartment of a former girlfriend. The morning after the dinner, he wakes up at home with no memory of the evening and learns that his girlfriend was found shot in her bed. Before someone places him at her apartment, Harry needs to find the person behind her death. At work, he is assigned to the Robbery Squad when a bank robber executes an employee. He teams up with an investigator who can remember every face she's seen. During his twin investigations, Harry plumbs the depths of man's capacity for revenge and forgiveness.  

Comments:
Jo Nesbo's fourth book in the Harry Hole series might be enjoyed by fans of Steig Larsson or Michael Connelly for on-the edge-of-your-seat suspense and fine plotting. Readers who enjoy series should start with Redbreast. The first two books in the series have not been published in the United States.
