Discover the first novel in the addictive Wallander series.
'Wallander is among the very best fictional crimebusters' Daily
Telegraph 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. The woman supplies Wallander with his only clue: the
perpetrators may have been foreign. When this is leaked to the
press, it unleashes a tide of racism. 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. But now
Wallander must forget his troubles and throw himself into a battle
against time and against mounting racial hatred. 'Mankell is one of
the most ingenious crime writers around. Highly recommended'
