A cracking good thriller...that will keep you gripped to the last page Guardian
Outstanding... Probably the best big crime novel you could lay your hands on this year BBC Radio 4

When commissioned to write a memoir about life on the road with his band, Di Derre, he instead came up with the plot for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat. His books The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son, The Thirst, Macbeth and Knife have all since topped the Sunday Times charts. He's an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 51 languages, selling over 60 million copies around the world.
