Mankell, um dos autores máximos da era do thriller volta a criar um suspense incrível neste livro premiado com o Dolg Dagger para Melhor Romance Policial do Ano. Em 1992, uma dona de casa sueca, membro da Igreja Metodista é brutalmente assassinada e o inspector Kurt Wallander, juntamente com a sua equipa, são recrutados para investigar este estranho caso. Porém, a teia de acontecimentos que desencadeou este assassínio teve origem na África do Sul, onde Nelson Mandela travou uma luta incansável pela liberdade, pondo fim ao regime do Apartheid. A equipa liderada por Wallander vê-se repentinamente enredada numa teia complexa, encabeçada por membros dos serviços secretos da África do Sul e por um ex-agente do KGB concentrados numa missão: impedir que Nelson Mandela suba ao poder.

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.
