In The Phantom, the latest instalment in Jo Nesbo's bestselling crime series, anti-hero investigator Harry Hole faces the most impossible case of his career.
After three years abroad, Harry returns to Oslo to investigate a homicide. The case is already closed; young junkie, Gusto, was in all likelihood shot in a conflict over drugs. Yet Harry seeks out his former boss at police headquarters to ask permission to visit the accused boy in prison.
This is the start of an investigation that leads Harry to an unnamed man who owns the dark streets of night time Oslo. He has always been there: a phantom ... and in order to discover the man's identity and solve the case, Harry must confront his own history.
