Random House presents the audiobook edition of The White Lioness by Henning Mankell, read by Sean Barrett.

In 1992, in peaceful Southern Sweden, Louise Akerblom, an estate agent, pillar of the Methodist church, wife and mother, disappears. There is no explanation and no motive. Inspector Wallander and his team are called in to investigate.

As Inspector Wallander is introduced to this missing person''s case he has a gut feeling that the victim will never be found alive, but he has no idea how far he will have to go in search of the killer. In South Africa, Nelson Mandela has made his long walk to freedom, setting in train the country''s painful journey towards the end of the apartheid. Wallander and his colleagues find themselves caught up in a complex web involving renegade members of South Africa''s secret service and a former KGB agent, all of whom are set upon halting Mandela''s rise to power.

Faced with an increasingly globalised world in which international terrorism knows no national borders, Wallander must prevent a hideous crime that means to dam the tide of history.

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.
