The bat by jo nesbø6/7/2023 It has a setting that’s somewhat unusual for a Norwegian crime novel: Sydney. The Bat (Flaggermusmannen, 1997, translated by Don Bartlett a title that translates literally to ‘Batman’, thus offering considerable scope for confusion) is Nesbø’s debut novel and the first in the Harry Hole series. I’ve previously reviewed his Blood on Snow / Midnight Sun short-novel double here. He is most widely known for his longrunning ‘Harry Hole’ series of novels, and has won several awards including the Riverton Award, the Glass Key Award, the Norwegian Booksellers’ Prize and the Peer Gynt Prize he has also been shortlisted for an Edgar Award. Jo Nesbø is a Norwegian crime novelist whose CV includes previous stints as a footballer, musician and reporter.
