Phantom

I very much enjoyed Phantom by Jo Nesbo as I enjoy all his books based on his policeman character, Harry Hole.  In this story Harry is no longer a member of the Norwegian police as he's been working in Hong Kong for some time.  He returns to Norway when he learns his former girlfriend, Rakel's son Oleg has been accused of murdering a young drug dealer.  Harry has always loved both Rakel and Oleg but circumstances forced them apart.  Harry investigates the murder to prove Oleg's innocence and uncovers corruption in the police and city hall as the king pin drug drug baron, the Phantom, pulls the strings in the city.  A typical fast-paced story where the reader wonders how it will end - suspenseful. 41/2/5
