Och schon wieder vorbei – so sehr ich mich gefreut habe wieder einen Harry Hole zu lesen und wie sehr ich es genossen habe mich mit dem Buch zurückzuziehen. Es ist gelesen.
Harry Hole ist zurück in Oslo – besser in Form als beim letzten Mal doch einige Narben am Körper und in der Seele. Seine Vatergefühle und seine Liebe zu Rakel geben ihm Anlass zur Rückkehr. Oleg sitzt im Gefängnis des Mordes verdächtigt. Harry will und muss ihm helfen zu gute Erinnerungen hat er aus der Zeit mit Oleg und Rakel.
Oslo erscheint in einem anderen Drogengewand. Alles ist neu. Nichts ist anders! Der Drogensumpf ist neu geordnet und Harry ist kaum in Oslo und schon mittendrin.
Am Anfang werden einige Protagonisten vorgestellt die im Sumpf sitzen und bald ist klar, dass Harry ihnen im Weg ist bzw. Schwierigkeiten bereiten wird. Harry in Gefahr!
Harry ist noch nicht vergessen in Oslo, er und der Leser triff auf alte Feinde und Freunde, die ihm helfen seine Arbeit als „Einmal-Polizist-immer-Polizist“ zu machen.
Auch diesmal gibt es neue Wunden für Hole. Er muss immer wieder mit seiner Sucht kämpfen, er muss mit seinen Gefühlen als Geliebter, als Vater kämpfen aber auch um sein Leben.
Aber auch die anderen Figuren müssen gegen sich kämpfen, gegen ihre Sucht gegen ihre Gier nach Geld oder Macht.
Gerade wenn man Harry Hole kennt wird man das Buch verschlingen, diejenigen die mit dem Band erst anfangen werden die vorherigen nachholen wollen.
Was mir etwas Bauchschmerzen verursacht hat ist dieser etwas unwahrscheinliche Kniff, dass ein Sterbender dem Leser dabei hilft die Geschichte zu verstehen. Der wunderschöne vaterlose Dieb Gusto, der in der ersten Szene verblutet und uns im Buch begleitet um die Hintergründe zu erklären. So einen langen Tod wünsche ich keinem!
Die Auflösung des Falles trifft einem bis ins Mark.
Und ich kann uns nur wünschen: Gib nicht auf Harry! Und Martine bitte!!

This series just keeps getting better and better. If you're interested in Scandinavian crime fiction forget Steig Larrson, Nesbo is head and shoulders above. In Harry Hole he has created one of the great detectives. In this round Hole returns clean and sober from 4 years in the far East because someone close to him has been involved in a murder. Even though Hole is trying to protect his loved one, he can't stop being a cop. This one's a keeper. ( )

The best of the police man series. I have read them all and now will have to wait for new books.

There are some readers who will feel such prose itself amounts to a petty crime. But even many of them will be helpless in the face of Nesbo's brilliant, breakneck plotting, which sends Hole back and forth across Oslo, unraveling an intricate series of clues about the city's drug trade and its police force, which is as corrupt as ever.
 
Three years have gone by since Harry Hole limped out of Oslo in a blur of drugs and booze. Now the ex-cop is back in town, clean and sober, and he’s on a mission. It seems that Oleg, the good kid of past Hole novels, has been nailed for a drug murder. Hole needs to clear the kid.

In the Oleg story, Nesbo expands even his generous concept of tangled narratives, and though it’s a matter of personal taste, the process of expansion seems to have produced more credible entertainment than the last couple of Hole books have presented.

Jo Nesbø viser i «Gjenferd» hvilken virtuos forteller han er innen en sjanger som det nærmest er gått inflasjon i. Når man lukker boka etter drøye 450 sider har man lest noe som enkelt sagt kan ligne på en gresk tragedie i triviallitterær forkledning.

Harry Hole har sin niende inkarnasjon vært edru i tre år, han er i bedre fysisk form enn på lenge, mens psyken er der den alltid har vært og litt til; gråslitt, selvoppgitt og ridd av melancholiaens Hole spesial. Men; har du først kjøpt og slukt Harry Hole med hud og hår, er det akkurat så sliten han må være nå etter all julingen han har fått siden «Flaggermusmannen» i 1997.

«Gjenferd» er en kriminalroman som innfrir på alle nivåer. Den er skrevet med engasjement, av en forfatter som tror på sin egen fortelling. Og som behersker to ting bedre enn noen andre samtidskrimforfattere jeg kan komme på. Det første er å bygge opp ytre spenning.
Det andre er å villede leseren når det kommer til det evige spørsmålet om hvem som har gjort det. Du kan prøve, men du har ikke en sjanse
