The Leopard (Nesbø novel) The Leopard is a crime novel by Norwegian novelist, Jo Nesbø. Its Norwegian title is "Panserhjerte", which does not directly translate to The Leopard; it rather means something along the lines of "armoured heart". Moreover, "leopard" refers to the stealthy tread of the killer in the book, while "armoured heart" is what Harry Hole himself gains by his experiences. "Panserhjerte" is also a Norwegian term for Constrictive pericarditis. "The Leopard" is the eighth novel featuring Nesbø's crime detective, Inspector Harry Hole.
