V Osle napadol prvý sneh. Jonas ráno vstane a zistí, že jeho matka zmizla. Ostane po nej jediná stopa – ružový šál, čo jej daroval na Vianoce. Má ho na krku snehuliak. Predošlú noc sa nečakane zjavil na dvore a jeho čierne oči hľadia priamo do domu. Prípad rieši inšpektor Harry Hole, ktorý nedávno dostal tajomný list s podpisom Snehuliak. Situácia sa ešte väčšmi zamotáva, keď Harry zistí, že tento model sa opakuje – za posledných desať rokov sa stratilo jedenásť žien, a to vždy presne v deň, keď napadol prvý sneh. Vyšetrovanie je pre Harryho o to zložitejšie, že sa týka jeho novej kolegyne, ale aj milovanej Rachel. Prípad Snehuliak ho privádza na pokraj šialenstva. Brilantne vykreslené postavy a gradujúce napätie sú zárukou napínavého príbehu, aký vie napísať len majster súčasných trilerov Jo Nesbo.

De politie vindt het lichaam van een vrouw; een Tinder-date werd haar fataal. Haar verwondingen wijzen erop dat er een bijzonder agressieve moordenaar aan het werk is, een moordenaar die bij haar thuis op haar wachtte. De druk van de media wordt steeds groter, en de politie weet dat er maar één man is die deze zaak kan oplossen. Maar Harry Hole weigert terug te keren naar de plek waar hij ooit bijna alles verloor wat hem lief was. Tot hij een verband vindt tussen de moordenaar en de enige zaak die hij niet tot een goed einde bracht. Wanneer een nieuw slachtoffer wordt gevonden, weet Harry dat er geen weg terug meer is en dat hij zijn aartsvijand opnieuw onder ogen moet zien.

A mesmerising trip across Central Asia, this travelogue offers an unforgettable journey through the former Soviet Republics—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan—each of which gained independence after the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991. Prizewinning author Erika Fatland explores how these nations have evolved, revealing stories that even seasoned travelers might not know. In Kyrgyzstani villages, she encounters victims of bride snatching and visits the desolate Polygon in Kazakhstan, a site of Soviet nuclear tests. She meets Chinese shrimp gatherers by the Aral Sea and witnesses the fall of a dictator. Traveling incognito in Turkmenistan, she engages with human rights activists in Kazakhstan and survivors of the 2010 Osh massacre. Fatland also meets German Mennonites who settled in Kyrgyzstan two centuries ago. Throughout her journey, she observes the clash between ancient customs and modern gas production, as well as the tensions between ethnic Russians and the local majority in a nation navigating its Nationalist identity. Amidst the treasures of Samarkand and the starkness of Soviet architecture, her openness to the people and landscapes creates a rare and unforgettable narrative.

When a police officer is found murdered at the scene of an old unsolved murder case that he was involved in investigating, it can hardly be a coincidence. When the same thing happens to two other officers in a matter of months the pattern is as clear as it is terrifying. None of the old cases were ever solved. The killings are extremely brutal and the police have no leads. What’s more, they’re missing their best investigator. At the same time, a severely wounded man is in a coma and kept alive at a hospital in Oslo. The police guard the room and the identity of the patient is kept secret. Once again Jo Nesbø delivers a devilishly clever story about the scope of human evil; a cat-and-mouse game that involves not only the victims and the police, but also the reader.

Harry Hole is terug naar waar het ooit begon. Hij is weer aan de drank, Rakel heeft hem verlaten, voorgoed dit keer, en hij woont opnieuw op zijn oude adres aan de Sofia Gatan. De politie in Oslo biedt hem een baan aan, maar hij mag alleen nog cold cases onderzoeken. Als na meer dan tien jaar gevangenis Svein Finne, de serieverkrachter en -moordenaar, weer op vrije voeten komt, is Hole ervan overtuigd dat hij opnieuw zal toeslaan. Het is slechts de opmaat van een veel grotere ramp. Want wanneer hij op een dag in zijn appartement ontwaakt na een nacht vol alcohol, ontdekt Harry dat hij besmeurd is met bloed. Het is het begin van een nachtmerrie die erger wordt dan hij ooit kon dromen. De briljante, onnavolgbare politieagent Harry Hole is terug en in de greep van de moordenaar die hem al zijn hele loopbaan achtervolgt.

Could the story of mankind be far older than previously believed? Graham Hancock presents a compelling case using tools like archaeo-astronomy, geology, and computer analysis of ancient myths. Featured in a Netflix docuseries, Hancock embarks on a worldwide quest to piece together the vast jigsaw of humanity’s hidden past. He explores ancient monuments, from Egypt’s Great Sphinx to the Andean ruins of Tihuanaco and Mexico’s Temples of the Sun and Moon, revealing clear signs of an unidentified civilization from remote antiquity. This civilization exhibited remarkable sophistication, technological advancement, and evolved scientific knowledge. A record-breaking bestseller in Britain, the work suggests an intellectual revolution that could dramatically change our understanding of the past—and our future. It also conveys a deeper message: as we uncover truths about prehistory and the meanings behind ancient myths and monuments, a warning emerges—a warning of catastrophic events that have afflicted the Earth in cycles and may soon recur. This journey promises to engage readers with inspired storytelling and thought-provoking insights.

Following from Jo Nesbø's electrifying international best-sellers The Snowman and The Leopard , now comes Phantom , which plunges the brilliant, deeply troubled, now former police officer Harry Hole into a full-tilt investigation on which his own tenuous future will come to depend. When Harry left Oslo again for Hong Kong—fleeing the traumas of life as a cop—he thought he was there for good. But then the unthinkable happened. The son of the woman he loved, lost, and still loves is arrested for murder: Oleg, the boy Harry helped raise but couldn't help deserting when he fled. Harry has come back to prove that Oleg is not a killer. Barred from rejoining the police force, he sets out on a solitary, increasingly dangerous investigation that takes him deep into the world of the most virulent drug to ever hit the streets of Oslo (and the careers of some of the city's highest officials), and into the maze of his own past, where he will find the wrenching truth that finally matters to Oleg, and to himself.

Può una donna decidere di cambiare vita a settant’anni? Secondo Ellinor, sì. Anche se ha sempre lasciato che fossero le circostanze a scegliere per lei, appena rimasta vedova abbandona gli agi di un quartiere di lusso di Copenaghen per tornare in quello operaio dove ha trascorso l’infanzia e l’adolescenza. Il quartiere è cambiato: adesso ci sono prostitute, pusher e hipster, ma a lei non importa, le basta solo che dalle finestre della sua nuova casa si veda il portone di quella dove ha vissuto da bambina. In una lunga lettera alla sua migliore amica morta tanti anni prima, Ellinor fa il bilancio della propria vita, segnata da inganni e tradimenti, da dolori e lutti e da un grande, terribile segreto. Con una scrittura incisiva ed elegante, Jens Christian Grøndahl scava nel profondo dell’animo femminile restituendoci, attraverso l’appassionante ritratto di una donna al di fuori dagli schemi, un affresco della borghesia di oggi. Il ritratto di un matrimonio, un libro sull’amore e sulle relazioni famigliari. Il ritorno in grande stile di uno dei migliori autori europei contemporanei.
