"The Bat Man" ( _no. Flaggermusmannen, 1997) is a crime novel by Norwegian writer Jo Nesbø, the first in the Harry Hole series.

The story revolves around the Norwegian police officer Harry Hole, who is asked by the Australian police to help them solve the murder of a Norwegian B-celebrity. In King's Cross, one of Sydney's more shady suburbs, he walks the streets among prostitutes, pimps, and pushers. It does not take long before he realizes that he has become an important part of a dangerous game that he will just have to survive - one way or another.
