Červenka connects Harry's new professional position with Norway's wartime history. A lead involving an unusual weapon opens a wider case in which distant events remain active forces in a present-day investigation.
Červenka is the third novel featuring Norwegian detective Harry Hole. Jo Nesbo connects a contemporary police investigation with World War II and questions that have remained unresolved in Norwegian society for decades. After a professional incident, Harry takes a new position, where a lead involving an unusual weapon catches his attention. What seems like a peripheral detail gradually opens a much larger case. Kateřina Krištůfková translated the Czech edition.

What is Červenka about?
Following an incident during an American president's visit, Harry Hole finds himself in a role that initially appears to offer few major investigative challenges. Information about an unusual weapon catches his attention, however. His inquiries gradually reveal that the current case cannot be separated from World War II and the lives of Norwegians who fought on the German side. Alternating between a criminal investigation and a historical storyline, the novel shows the past returning through personal decisions, ideology, guilt, and betrayal. It also marks another step in a series that develops Harry's professional and personal relationships alongside individual cases. Červenka draws heavily on Norwegian history while remaining a police and crime novel built on the gradual discovery of connections.
