Two women are found murdered in Oslo, both have drowned in their own blood. The mystery is that the serious injuries on the faces of the dead have been inflicted from the inside of the mouth.The police woman Kaja Solness from Oslo Violence-section is sent to Hong Kong to find the man who is their only hope, a specialist on serial murders: Harry Hole. He is hiding somewhere in the city of seven million, on the run from the demons from his last murder case: The Snowman.
The writer Jon Nesbø has kept me busy the first days of this year due to my Christmas gift: his eighth novel featuring Harry Hole,"Panserhjerte" (Armour Heart).
Although parts of the novel take place in the areas around Ustaoset and the mountain range Hallingskarvet with late Arne Næss´ cottage "Tverrgastein" on top of the hill, we also share his present at Victoria Peak in Hong Kong.
This photo is from January 1996 so much are different, but the view from Mount Austin or The Peak and Hong Kong Island towards Kowloon and the Mainland is still magnificent.
See you in Shanghai, Harry.

Snakker du om kontraster Arne, fra helt alene, til aldri alene i Hong Kong sikkert... Vakkert på hvert sitt vis, og vi??? uenderlig heldige som kan velge det ene eller det andre etter eget godtbefinennde.
For en tid tilbake kom en familie fra Amsterdam flyttende til dette dalføret, jobb på sykehuset begge to, husker de var så overasket over at det var mulig å `gå seg bort` her til lands :-) de hadde jo hørt på nyhetene at det var leteaksjon etter et mann på ett eller annet fjell. Gå i timesvis uten å treffe folk på en måte, er det mulig???? Naturlig for oss, fremmed og utenkelig for dem. Samme verden, men så forskjellig.
Harry Hole ja, han elsker vi vettu!!
