The Redbreast

1942:  Daniel, a soldier legendary among the Norwegians fighting at the Eastern front, is killed.  Eighteen months later in a Vienna hospital, a wounded soldier becomes involved with a young nurse.  The consequences will ripple forward to the end of the century.

1999:  Having caused an embarrassment in the line of duty, Harry Hole is lumbered with monitoring neo-Nazi activity; a fairly mundane assignment, until reports of a rare weapon being fired attract his interest.  Meanwhile, an ex-soldier has been found with his throat cut.  Pursuing both his assignment and his hunches, Harry embarks on an investigation in which he has much to gain and everything to lose.
