If you want to read 'The Redeemer' without paying, the fastest, cleanest route I point people to is borrowing it through your public library’s digital services — that’s how I read lots of midlist thrillers and comics when I don’t want to buy them. Many libraries make the Jo Nesbø novel 'The Redeemer' available as an ebook or audiobook through OverDrive/Libby (you can borrow it if your library owns a copy), and retailers like Kobo and Amazon also let you preview samples if you just want the first chapters. If you meant a different work titled 'The Redeemer' (there are several: the Jo Nesbø novel, a Warhammer comic mini-series, a few self-published novellas, and even religious booklets), the legal freebies depend on which one. Some self-published or ministry editions are offered directly for free on the author or organization’s website as PDF/EPUB downloads, whereas mainstream-published titles are almost never free except via library lending or limited promotional samples. I usually check the exact author name and then try (1) my library’s catalog/Libby, (2) the publisher’s site for sample chapters or giveaways, and (3) the author’s official site for any free downloads. Bottom line: pick the 'The Redeemer' you mean by author, then try your library apps first — that's legal, free, and quick. For me, borrowing through Libby/OverDrive has rescued many reading lists; it’s my go-to when I don’t want to commit to buying, and it keeps my shelves tidy.
