The Norwegian novel, which is the seventh entry in Nesbo’s series about detective Harry Hole, is set in Oslo and concerns a missing woman whose pink scarf is found wrapped around an ominous-looking snowman.

As Hole begins his investigation, he discovers that the crime appears to be the work of a serial killer.”
