After the Snowman battle, the physically and mentally traumatized police detective Harry Holler came to Hong Kong to recover. However, a horrific serial murder case in Norway and the ties to his seriously ill father forced him to bid farewell to the decadent life in Hong Kong and return to Oslo.
The two female victims were drowned in their own blood: anesthetics in their bodies, coltan metal on their teeth, 24 puncture wounds in their mouths... Various evidence showed that the murderer was the same person. A rare murder weapon, no clues about the case, and an unpredictable motive have brought the investigation to a deadlock.
As Norway's most experienced police detective in hunting down serial killers, Harry Holler began to track down the murderer with his new partner Kaya and his old partners Katrina and Houlem. Soon he discovers a connection between a missing woman and three deceased people - they all spent a night at a ski lodge. Harry tracked down a traveler who was also in the cabin that night, only to find that he had been killed; the guest registration book in the cabin had also been deliberately torn off.
What exactly happened in the cabin that night? Who killed these unexpected travelers one by one? In order to get deep into the murderer's heart, Harry decided to turn to his old enemy - the serial killer "Snowman" who was dying in the hospital.
However, he didn't know that behind these murders, it turned out to be a hunting game that had been secretly planned for a long time...

Every Harry movie is worse than the last one [face covering]
Wow, this book "The Cheetah" sounds exciting! The police detective character of Harry Holler is really charming, and his tenacity and persistence are impressive. I love the style of crime suspense, it feels like you are playing a cat and mouse game with the killer. This reminds me of "Sherlock Holmes", which is also a wonderful detective story. Moreover, the author's portrayal of the murderer is also very good and makes people shudder. Looking forward to seeing how Harry uncovers the truth about this serial murder case!
It felt like I was watching it again. Although it is a re-read, it is just as engaging as the first time, and it is fascinating, which shows that it is really good.
When I was about a third of the way through, I felt like I had seen it, and I had to read it carefully. The feeling is the same as the first time I read it. The plot is compact and tortuous, the language is wise and clear, and the overall picture is rich. It is indeed worth reading again and again.
