The Redbreast by Jo Nesbø
A Harry Hole Mystery
Publisher: Harper
This is the third book in this series of Norwegian crime novels, though the first to be translated into English.
About The Redbreast (from the publisher): Detective Harry Hole embarrassed the force, and for his sins he’s been reassigned to mundane surveillance tasks. But while monitoring neo-Nazi activities in Oslo, Hole is inadvertently drawn into a mystery with deep roots in Norway’s dark past, when members of the government willingly collaborated with Nazi Germany. More than sixty years later, this black mark won’t wash away — and disgraced old soldiers who once survived a brutal Russian winter are being murdered, one by one. Now, with only a stained and guilty conscience to guide him, an angry, alcoholic, error-prone policeman must make his way safely past the traps and mirrors of a twisted criminal mind. For a conspiracy is taking rapid and hideous shape around Hole … and Norway’s darkest hour may be still to come.
Important Note: Barnes&Noble updates its Nook Daily Find every day at approximately midnight PT. The title referenced above is available at a discounted price for Wednesday, February 08, 2012 only.

This sounds like a great read. I heard an extract of the audio book on The Book Report radio show. Listening might be better than reading because at least the reader of the audio book gets the Norwegian names right. You can hear the book report archives on http://bookreportradio.com
