Harry Hole is not in a good place. Rakel – the only woman he’s ever loved – has ended it with him, permanently. He’s been given a chance for a new start with the Oslo Police but it’s in the cold case office, when what he really wants is to be investigating cases he suspects have ties to Svein Finne, the serial rapist and murderer who Harry helped put behind bars. And now, Finne is free after a decade-plus in prison – free, and Harry is certain, unreformed and ready to take up where he left off.

But things will get worse. When Harry wakes up the morning after a drunken blackout, with blood on his hands, it’s only the very beginning of what will be a waking nightmare the likes of which even he could never have imagined.

Knife is the twelfth installment in the Harry Hole series.

Defense attorney Martin Benner has a weakness for antiques. When his friend Henry dies, Martin is given an offer too good to turn down: to take over Henry’s partial ownership of an antiques store in New York. But his good fortune is short-lived – a man shows up claiming that Henry didn’t die from illness but was murdered. At the same time Martin notices that he’s being watched. Someone is leaving footprints in the snow around his house and his surveillance equipment is sabotaged.

Martin is soon drawn into a feverish hunt for the truth about Henry. His search brings him to a series of supposedly closed hotels with shady business occurring on their premises, a church with too much power, and antiquities containing deadly secrets. The line between truth and lie and friend and enemy grows ever more blurred.

Who was Henry Schiller? And was there more to his death than meets the eye?

To Him Who Knocks is Kristina Ohlsson’s third book about Martin Benner and a riveting and intricate crime novel about a past that won’t let itself be forgotten.
