Nemesis

Once you pick up a book by Jo Nesbo, it is hard to put it down until you finish it.

A well planned bank robbery is pulled off in Oslo, but at the last minute the robber kills one of the workers in the bank.  Harry Hole is assigned to the case because of the murder; unfortunately he has to work with the Robberies Unit, which seems to hinder his portion of the investigation.

Meantime an old flame commits suicide on the evening after Harry has a meal with her.  Harry has no recollection of the meal or how he got home from the meal.  His investigation of the suicide points to a possible murder and with him as a possible suspect.

Once again Nesbo twines the plot this way and that leaving it until the last pages before all is revealed.  I am looking forward to reading his next book.
