The Redeemer (Harry Hole, #6)

by Jo Nesbø

“Be careful, Harry. Drinking makes you not only irritable but irritating. I have not come here to divest you of your self-respect, your balls or your beer. But your current problem is that all three are in that glass.”

“An angry, unstable contract killer? Well, I suppose there are unstable airplane pilots and unstable managers of nuclear power stations, too. Not everyone is in a job he ought to be in, you know.”
