One frozen January morning at 5am, Inspector Wallander responds to what he believes is a routine call out. When he reaches the isolated farmhouse he discovers a bloodbath. An old man has been tortured and beaten to death, his wife lies barely alive beside his shattered body, both victims of a violence beyond reason. Wallander's life is a shambles. His wife has left him, his daughter refuses to speak to him, and even his ageing father barely tolerates him. He works tirelessly, eats badly, and drinks his nights away in a lonely, neglected flat. But now Wallander must forget his troubles and throw himself into a battle against time.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Henning Mankell

Henning Mankell was born in Stockholm in 1948 and died in 2015 in Gothenburg. For a long time he was a playwright and theatre director, namely at Teatro Avenida in Maputo, Mozambique. Since 1990, he has devoted his literary work to police officers headed by Kurt Wallander. With this character he sought to recreate an "old-fashioned" policeman who tries, at all costs, to fight against a modern Sweden in which racist ideas and extreme violence prevail. Through a unique blend of American Noir and the existential melancholy common to Europeans, Mankell describes a world where crime is solved through pure inspiration or simple drudgery, and where the specter of our own mortality is an intrinsic and unavoidable condition for each of us.
