Still possessed of his vintage police savvy, and perhaps the only Jewish licensed PI in the five boroughs, Moe wonders if he's really meant to be a merchant and not a cop. "Redemption Street" finds him in 1981, lured into the mystery of a 1966 hotel fire - one that killed seventeen people, including his first love - by a long-grieving brother and Moe's own restless determination to set things right. Reed Farrel Coleman's crisp, page-turning narrative has Moe trudging through his childhood summer vacation stomping grounds, the now-decaying Catskill resort scene. The borscht belt's near-forgotten landscape of scarred lives, ambitious politicians, and corrupt cops is the minefield Moe must brave to find the truth. Was the fire really sparked by a negligent smoker or was it murder? Will the long dead keep their secrets or divulge their stories? And will what Moe uncovers lead him down another blind alley or into the bright light of "Redemption Street"?

De repente, se oye un disparo y uno de los intérpretes cae muerto. Harry Hole y su equipo se encargan de la investigación, pero hay muy poco hilo del que tirar: ni sospechoso, ni arma ni móvil del crimen. Pero cuando el asesino piense que ha matado a la persona equivocada y vuelva a mover pieza, las pistas se sucederán hasta llevar a Harry por los peores rincones de Oslo. El redentor sobrevuela terrenos como la pobreza urbana y la historia europea reciente. En su persecución de un enigmático sicario de la ex Yugoslavia, Hole deberá sortear también las cuitas espirituales de los más desfavorecidos, quienes quizá aguardan con demasiado fervor que un salvador... termine con su sufrimiento. Críticas:«El redentor es buenísima. Jo Nesbø es mi nuevo escritor de thriller favorito, y Harry Hole mi nuevo héroe. Este libro me tuvo con la tensión peligrosamente alta de principio a fin.»Michael Connelly
