About This Item
London: Random House, 2011. Used. In the depths of winter, a killer stalks the city streets. His victims are two young women, both found with twenty-four inexplicable puncture wounds, both drowned in their own blood. The crime scenes offer no clues, the media is reaching fever pitch, and the police are running out of options. There is only one man who can help them, and he doesn't want to be found. Deeply traumatised by an investigation that threatened the lives of those he holds most dear, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. But with his father seriously ill in hospital, Harry reluctantly agrees to return to Oslo. He has no intention of working on the case, but his instinct takes over when an MP is found brutally murdered in a city park. The victims appear completely unconnected to one another, but it's not long before Harry makes a discovery: the women all spent the night in an isolated mountain hostel. And someone is picking off the guests one by one. A heart-stopping thriller from the critically-acclaimed Jo Nesb , The Leopard is an international bestseller that will grip you until the final page.

White Window enables readers to observe the characters of the novel. Window gives us scope to study the characters and white window means honest study. White WindowThe protagonist Pramath Biswas and his friend Boris are sympathetic and emotional where as the political leaders and the police chief are cunning. The leaders are scared lest their links with the terrorist Salem be exposed. The chief doesn't hesitate to convict innocent Sonai, only to stay in favour of his political bosses.The language is evocative and the writer has done research work before writing the book.
