Publisher's Summary:

In the Category 3 winds of a late-season hurricane, Nantucket police detective Merry Folger and her team attempt a rescue off the secluded island of Tuckernuck—only to discover a deadly secret. As a Category 3 hurricane bears down on Nantucket, Dionis Mather and her father have their work cut out for them. Their family business is to ferry goods and people back and forth from Tuckernuck, the private island off Nantucket’s western tip, a place so remote and exclusive that it is off the electric grid. As caretakers of the small plot of sand in the middle of the Atlantic, the Mathers are responsible for evacuating Tuckernuck’s residents, who range from a stubborn elderly native who refuses to leave her family home to the abandoned summer house pets of an absentee NFL quarterback. But as the storm surge rises and the surf warnings mount, Dionis has to make a choice: abandon whatever—or whoever—was left behind, or risk her own life by plunging back into the maelstrom. Even she has no idea what evil the hurricane is sheltering. When the coast guard notifies the Nantucket police of a luxury yacht grounded in the shoals off Tuckernuck’s northern edge—with two shooting victims lying in the main cabin—detective Meredith Folger throws herself into an investigation before the hurricane sweeps all crime-scene evidence out to sea. Merry is supposed to be on leave this weekend, dancing at her own wedding, but the Cat 3 has thrown her blissful plans into chaos. As her battered house fills with stranded wedding guests and flood waters rise all over Nantucket Island, Merry has her own choice to make: How much should she risk in order to bring a criminal to justice?

Publisher's Summary:

Ray Santiago's friends from work know him as a brilliant-but-easygoing systems engineer who spends a lot of time on his favorite online role-playing game. But the game is over for Ray: his colleagues from work, Maude, Tim, and Turing, have just found out about Ray's murder in a dark alley. He was shot, and his laptop stolen. It could be just another D.C. street crime. But if Turing's password was in that computer—and it's fallen into the wrong hands—she could be in terrible danger. With Turing's Web-searching powers and Maude's and Tim's access to the outdoors, the trio starts looking into Ray's death, tracing their colleague's life from that fatal night, backspace by backspace. But this project leads to more questions than answers—because Ray seems to have fabricated his life story, even his name. And now their quest is growing even more crucial. For as they sort their way through Ray Santiago's various personas, online and off, danger lurks in the lab—perhaps within the very computer in which Turing lives.

«El rey indiscutido de la novela negra» (El Mundo), ganador del Premio Pepe Carvalho 2024 y con 55 millones de lectores en 50 idiomas, presenta el octavo caso de Harry Hole. Tras el horror que supuso la resolución de su último caso, Harry Hole abandonó Oslo y el cuerpo policial. Ahora se ha visto obligado a regresar por cuestiones familiares y porque se sospecha que un asesino en serie anda suelto en Noruega y solo Hole es capaz de llevar a cabo la investigación. Tras asesinar a varias mujeres de forma cruel, Hole tendrá que viajar a África para descubrir el origen de La Manzana de Leopoldo, un terrorífico instrumento de tortura jamás visto. El asesino parece estar jugando con la policía y con Hole, y se sospecha que quiere matar a un grupo de personas que pasaron una noche en una cabaña en la alta montaña noruega. Hole es el único policía que parece ver tras el velo de las cosas, y eso despierta envidias y recelos entre sus compañeros... Además, tendrá que trabajar junto a Kaja Solness, una inteligente y bellísima policía con la que establecerá una peculiar relación... El leopardo, la octava entrega de la serie protagonizada por el atormentado detective Harry Hole, convirtió a Jo Nesbø en un megaseller internacional. Reconocidos autores opinan... «Alucinante. Jo Nesbø es mi escritor de thriller preferido y Harry Hole mi nuevo héroe.» Michael Connelly «Jo Nesbø me pisa los talones como un pitbull rabioso.» James Ellroy «Mi banda está leyendo a Nesbø, pero yo tengo demasiado miedo para abrir su siguiente novela...» Patti Smith Y la prensa ha dicho... «El héroe más atormentado e irresistible. No existe una armadura suficientemente fuerte para proteger a Harry de sus demonios, o a nosotros de Harry.» Booklist «El leopardo te premia con un final tan inesperado como sugerente.» San Francisco Chronicle «Podría decir que es una variación más compleja de los argumentos de Agatha Christie, pero la realidad es que no lo puedes dejar de leer, que te atrapa totalmente.» The Daily Telegraph «Si no conoces a Nesbø, ya es hora de que te pongas a ello.» USA Today
