Police (Norwegian: Politi, 2013) is a crime novel by Norwegian novelist Jo Nesbø.[1] It is the tenth novel in Nesbø's Harry Hole series.[2]

Plot

The tenth in the Oslo crime series featuring detective Harry Hole is the most sizeable entry yet; a twisting-turning saga that pits the gangly maverick against that most feared of serial killers, the cop killer. This murderer has a very devious modus operandi, luring police, and ex-police, involved in unsolved murders to the scene of the original crime to perform a copycat killing there, seemingly as a punishment for having failed to solve the original case.

Trivia

The scene where a character writes a message on a foggy bus window is a reference to the lyrics of the song "Jenter" by Nesbø's band, Di Derre.
