"The Bat" by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood is a mystery story that revolves around the notorious Bat, a clever criminal whose daring thefts have everyone on edge. At the heart of the suspense is Miss Cornelia Van Gorder, an older woman with a taste for excitement, alongside Detective Anderson, who is determined to bring the Bat to justice. As law enforcement and reporters panic over the Bat's bold crimes, Miss Cornelia unknowingly rents a country house right in the Bat's hunting ground, making everything even more dangerous. The story gets more complicated with local superstitions and scared workers quitting, all while a coming storm adds to the tension, setting the scene for battles and the constant threat of the Bat himself.
