The most recently translated Harry Hole novel is very, very good. A serial rapist who Harry had put in jail over twenty years ago is out, has threatened to kill Harry's wife and is raping again. When Rakel is murdered, Svein Finne is the obvious suspect, but he has an alibi. Harry has been so drunk and the killer so duplicitous that Harry begins to believe he murdered his own wife. He eventually sorts out who the killer is, gives him a way out and turns the table on Finne as well, ending forever his preying on the innocent. This is a perfectly crafted addition to a splendid series.
