The Bat

Before Harry took on the neo-Nazi gangs of Oslo, before he met Rakel, before The Snowman tried to take everything he held dear, he went to Australia. Harry Hole is sent to Sydney to investigate the murder of Inger Holter, a young Norwegian girl, who was working in a bar. Initially sidelined as an outsider, Harry becomes central to the Australian police investigation when they start to notice a number of unsolved rape and murder cases around the country. The victims were usually young blondes. Inger had a number of admirers, each with his own share of secrets, but there is no obvious suspect, and the pattern of the other crimes seems impossible to crack. Then a circus performer is brutally murdered followed by yet another young woman. Harry is in a race against time to stop highly intelligent killer, who is bent on total destruction.

I had to wait until the book was released in the US since I wanted to start with the first in series. So glad I did: highly recommended if you like mysteries.

Jo Nesbo kitaplarini her dile cevrilmis olarak goruyorum ve diyorum ki vay canina ne cok okunuyor olmali ama asla okumuyorum falan. Iste karantina surecinde ingiltere’de the cave adli bir kafenin disinda gorunce dayanamayip aldigim bir kitap oldu (belki bedava olmasa hala almazdim) ve cok pisman oldum daha once okumadigima cunku tarzi ve turu ile tam da hoslandigim kitaplar arasindaydi. Harry Hole sahane bir dedektif ve seri ile tanismak izin guzel bir kitap oldugunu dusunuyorum. Cok surukleyici ve surprizliydi. Okuyun, okutun.
