What is Sněhulák about?
The first November snow falls on Oslo, and the Becker family discovers a snowman outside their house that none of them built. Shortly afterward, Birte Beckerová disappears. What seems a straightforward search begins to uncover disturbing connections with other cases.
Harry Hole, an experienced police officer, takes charge of the investigation and tries to identify a pattern linking the events. His new colleague, Katrine Brattová, also becomes involved. Sněhulák builds on the gradual discovery of connections, the atmosphere of snow-covered Oslo, and the contrast between an ordinary symbol of winter and a sense of danger. The investigation also intertwines with Harry's complicated personal life.
The seventh Harry Hole book follows the earlier novels, while its central criminal case has a self-contained investigative storyline. Kateřina Krištůfková prepared the Czech translation.
