Killing Moon, Nesbo B+

                     This is the latest in the long-running series about Harry Hole. We find him in LA, broke, and trying to drink himself to death. When a woman he has befriended needs financial assistance to stay away from debt collectors,  Harry accepts an offer to return to Oslo to work on a murder investigation. He is hired by a man with connections to two young woman, whom Harry concludes were the victims of a serial killer. He collects a team and uses his many contacts with the Oslo police to run a parallel investigation. As good as the collective skills of the police are, Harry's are just a bit better. He outwits the killer in a brilliant move on the rooftop of the police HQ's. The author remains at the top of his game with the plotting, and there may even be hope that Harry stops drinking.
