About This Item
Inspector Harry Hole returns from Hong Kong hot on the trail of a serial killer in this installment of Jo Nesbø's New York Times bestselling series.
Inspector Harry Hole has retreated to Hong Kong, escaping the trauma of his last case in squalid opium dens, when two young women are found dead in Oslo, both drowned in their own blood. Media coverage quickly reaches a fever pitch. There are no clues, the police investigation is stalled, and Harry—the one man who might be able to help—can't be found. After he returns to Oslo, the killer strikes again, Harry's instincts take over, and nothing can keep him from the investigation, though there is little to go on. Worse, he will soon come to understand that he is dealing with a psychopath who will put him to the test, both professionally and personally, as never before.

White Window enables readers to observe the characters of the novel. Window gives us scope to study the characters and white window means honest study. White WindowThe protagonist Pramath Biswas and his friend Boris are sympathetic and emotional where as the political leaders and the police chief are cunning. The leaders are scared lest their links with the terrorist Salem be exposed. The chief doesn't hesitate to convict innocent Sonai, only to stay in favour of his political bosses.The language is evocative and the writer has done research work before writing the book.
