In wintry Oslo, a single gunshot opens a door nobody wants opened. Detective Harry Hole gets pulled off routine police work and into a case that feels political, sealed, and untouchable. A rare rifle surfaces. A chain of quiet meetings, erased files, and coded warnings follows. Someone has planned a killing with patience, skill, and a grudge that refuses to die. As Harry tracks the weapon’s path, the city’s present starts to blur into another Norway, one buried under the snow of history. Decades earlier, young men chose sides during the German occupation. Some chased glory. Some chased survival. One choice, made in the name of loyalty, poisoned everything that came after. The investigation tightens around a small circle of veterans and a secret they protected for a lifetime. Harry realizes the target is not random. The shooter is not hunting power. He is hunting a name. He is hunting closure. With a storm building over Oslo, Harry races through freezing streets and dim hallways where the past still breathes. Every clue points to the same truth. This is not a murder plot. This is a reckoning. And the bullet that’s coming was fired a long time ago.
