Harry Hole has started drinking again. Rakel – the only woman he has ever loved – has thrown him out, and he has been fired from his job at the Police Academy. As a washed-up legend, he is, however, graciously allowed to push papers around and handle routine cases at the police station. Harry is faced with a choice: to hit rock bottom now – or to rise up and go under later. Since he has nothing more to lose, he begins a lonely hunt for an old enemy. In KNIFE, Oslo Police's most legendary investigator is driven into a hell he could not have imagined in his worst nightmares.
