Netopyr'

Harri Hole priletaet v Sidney, chtoby pomoch' v rassledovanii zverskogo ubiystva norvezhskoy poddannoy. Avstraliyskaya policiya ne prinimaet ego vser'ez, a mezhdu tem delo gorazdo slozhnee, chem mozhet pokazat'sya na pervyy vzglyad. Drevnie legendy aborigenov ozhivayut, duh smerti rasproster nad zemley chernye kryl'ya letuchey myshi, i Harri, podobno geroyu, pobedivshemu strashnogo zmeya Bubbura, predstoit vstupit' v shvatku s kovarnym vragom, chtoby odolet' zlo i otomstit' za smert' vozlyublennoy. Eto delo stanet dlya Harri nachalom ego neskol'ko ekscentricheskoy policeyskoy kar'ery, a dlya ego sozdatelya, Yu Nesbe, - pervym shagom navstrechu golovokruzhitel'noy mirovoy slave.
