Plot

The story begins with a brief introduction that gathers information about the events of the previous novel: the downfall of Cato, a drug dealer of unknown identity who monopolized the Oslo drug market with a synthetic drug called "violin"; the resolution of the murder of Gusto Hansenn, an attractive 19-year-old salesman and Cato's employee; the exoneration of Oleg Fauke, the prime suspect in Gusto Hansenn's murder; and the attempt on the life of Harry Hole, who appears to have fared poorly after the encounter with Gusto's killer, which took place at the very location where the crime occurred: the 92 of Hausmann Street.
