Title: The Snowman - Jo Nesbø - book
Summary :
Oslo, November 2004, the first snow falls on the city. In the Becker's garden, a snowman appears, as if out of nowhere. The young son notices that he is facing the house and that his large black eyes are staring at their windows. During the night, Birte, the mother, disappears, leaving only her pink scarf, found around the snowman's neck, as a trace... At the same time, Inspector Harry Hole receives a letter signed "the snowman" which tells him of other victims. Delving into police files, Harry uncovers a wave of disappearances among married women and mothers in Norway. None of them gave any sign of life on the day of the first snow... Surprisingly sober, Harry Hole will find himself confronted, for the first time in his career, with a serial killer operating on Norwegian territory and who will lead him to the abyss of his madness.
