　　由於一名在雪梨酒吧工作的挪威女孩Inger Holter遭人殺害棄屍於公園內，奧斯陸警探哈利奉命來到地球南端的澳洲協助辦案。儘管自知不該干涉過頭，哈利仍奮力地追查任何可疑線索。沒隔多久，又有另一名女性遇害的事件傳出，使得辦案過程變成一場與時間賽跑的競賽，他們必須趕在連續殺人犯下次作案前將他緝拿歸案，以免更多無辜女性受害！

　　這次的案件會讓哈利的警探生涯受到什麼影響？他能夠將這個連續殺人魔繩之於法，同時讓自己全身而退嗎？（文/博客來編譯）

　　Harry is out of his depth. Detective Harry Hole is meant to keep out of trouble. A young Norwegian girl taking a gap year in Sydney has been murdered, and Harry has been sent to Australia to assist in any way he can. He’s not supposed to get too involved. When the team unearths a string of unsolved murders and disappearances, nothing will stop Harry from finding out the truth. The hunt for a serial killer is on, but the murderer will talk only to Harry. He might just be the next victim. Appearing in English for the first time, ”The Bat” is the legendary first novel from the worldwide phenomenon Jo Nesbo.
