Good Condition - Covers show rubbing, small creases and curled corners.

Norwegian detective Harry Hole arrives in Sydney after a young Norwegian woman is murdered. He is supposed to observe and assist, keeping his distance from an investigation led by Australian police. Instead, his connection with the victim's case and the people he meets draws him deeper into a city of nightlife, difficult histories and hidden dangers. Evidence begins to suggest that this death belongs to a wider pattern, and Harry's instincts push him beyond the limits of his official role. Introducing Nesbø's troubled investigator, The Bat combines a serial-killer mystery with an unfamiliar setting in which Harry's own weaknesses may prove as dangerous as the person he pursues.
