Until he wakes up one night to find his house on fire.Fredrik escapes just in time, wearing two left-footed wellies, as neighbouring islanders arrive to help douse the flames. All that remains in the morning is a stinking ruin and evidence of arson. The house that has been in his family for generations and all his worldly belongings are gone.

Without a suspect, the police begin to think he started the fire himself.Tackling love, loss and loneliness, After the Fire is Henning Mankell's compelling last novel.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Henning Mankell

Henning Mankell nasceu em Estocolmo, no ano de 1948, e faleceu em 2015 em Gotemburgo. Durante muito tempo foi dramaturgo e diretor de teatro, nomeadamente do Teatro Avenida em Maputo, Moçambique. Desde 1990 que consagrou a sua obra literária aos policiais encabeçados por Kurt Wallander. Com esta personagem procurou recriar um policia "à moda antiga" que tenta, a todo o custo, lutar contra uma Suécia moderna em que imperam ideias racistas e de extrema violência. Através de uma mistura única entre o Noir americano e a melancolia existencial comum aos europeus, Mankell descreve um mundo onde o crime é solucionado através de inspiração pura ou por simples trabalho enfadonho, e onde o espectro da nossa própria mortalidade é uma condição intrínseca e incontornável para cada um de nós.
