Netopýr – the story and its premise
Investigating the murder of a Norwegian woman in Sydney was also meant to give Harry Hole a chance to distance himself from his own problems. The local police initially see him as a foreign observer who is there to help rather than make decisions. Nevertheless, Harry soon begins investigating on his own. What seems to be an isolated crime gradually shows signs of belonging to a wider series of violent acts. The investigation takes him through different layers of Australian society while introducing him to local stories and traditions. The bat motif appears as a symbolic connection between violence, fear, and death. The novel introduces a detective with a strong sense of justice who also struggles with guilt and alcohol. For readers who want to get to know Harry Hole from the beginning, it is a natural entry point into the extensive series.
