Story
Roger Brown has it all. He's the country's most successful headhunter. He has a beautiful wife and a magnificent house. And to maintain this lifestyle, he's also a highly accomplished art thief. At a gallery opening, his wife introduces him to Clas Greve. Not only is Greve the perfect candidate for a position with one of Roger's high-profile clients, he is also in possession of 'The Calydonian Boar Hunt' by Rubens, one of the most sought-after paintings in the world.

An explosion cuts through the music, and a man in uniform falls to the ground, shot in the head at point-blank range.Harry Hole and his team have little to work with: no immediate suspect, no weapon and no motive.

Where does The Redeemer rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is my first review
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Redeemer?
Revelation of complex plot
Any additional comments?
First book I have listened to by a Norwegian writer. Wonderful complex plot. Builds up layer by layer. Good characterisation and exploration of human motive. This book is for the intelligent reader, not for dull thrill seekers. Don't let the reference to the Salavation Army put you off. It's what makes this book such a good read.

Story
One of the most important attributes of a prospective candidate for the U.S. presidency is that of being clean; not to have any dirt in your background, present or past. Senator William S. Gaullicauder appeared to fit the bill perfectly in this respect. But then a skeleton came rattling out of an English cupboard, threatening the senator’s squeaky clean reputation. The story had to be suppressed, and fast. But competing interests were involved, and violence and murder would ensue.

Badly written. Twee. Silly. Unconvincing. Don't waste your money.
