It is true that Harry Hole had already won us from his first appearance. But as I say, with each new case, or rather each new chapter of his life intertwined with the case, we face intense dilemmas for that mixture of hero and loser (almost almost an antihero at least in the face of the formal correction that invades him. everything). All in one, this is the suggestive policeman Harry Hole.
With that sense of dangerous tightrope walking over his own life, Harry will wake up one morning after his last visit to the old hells of alcohol. Rakel's abandonment invited him once more to doom.

And soon Hole will be able to sense that Finne is seeking his own particular revenge. The problem is that it catches him at the worst moment for a reunion of such caliber.
At his worst, when it takes a world for him to even get up every morning, Harry Hole must find the forces to sustain him again to face an all-out fight, trying to equip himself with his enemy, before it can seem that now he is only one. easy prey.
Like any badly wounded beast, Harry Hole can wait for a final approach to strike the last blow before finally perishing before his executioner.
