The Bat

The Bat by Jo Nesbo Inspector Harry Hole of the Oslo Crime
Squad is dispatched to Sydney to observe a murder case.
Harry is free to offer assistance but he has firm
instructions to stay out of trouble. The victim is a
twenty-three year old Norwegian woman who is a minor
celebrity back home. Never one to sit on the sidelines
Harry befriends one of the lead detectives and one of the
witnesses as he is drawn deeper into the case. Together
they discover that this is only the latest in a string of
unsolved murders and the pattern points toward a
psychopath working his way across the country. As they
circle closer and closer to the killer Harry begins to
fear that no one is safe least of all those investigating
the case.
