February, 1991. A life raft washes ashore in Skane carrying two
dead men in expensive suits, shot gangland-style. Inspector Kurt
Wallander and his team determine that the men were Eastern European
criminals. But what appears in Sweden to be an open-and-shut case
soon plunges Wallander into an alien world of police surveillance,
thinly veiled threats, and life-endangering lies. When another
murder is committed, Wallander must travel to Riga, Latvia, at the
peak of the massive social and political upheaval that preceded the
nation's independence from the Soviet Union. Struggling to catch up
with the culprits he pursues in this shadowy nation, Wallander
finds that he must make a choice, decide who is lying and who is
telling the truth, and test his bravery. Internationally acclaimed
author Henning Mankell has written nine Kurt Wallander mysteries.
The books have been published in thirty-three countries and
consistently top the bestseller lists in Europe, receiving major
literary prizes (including the UK's Golden Dagger for Sidetracked)
and generating numerous international film and television
adaptations. Born in 1948, Mankell grew up in the Swedish village
of Sveg. He now divides his time between Sweden and Maputo,
Mozambique, where he works as a director at Teatro Avenida. Laurie
Thompson lives in Wales and has edited Swedish Book Review since
its launch in 1983. He has translated fifteen books from Swedish,
including three Kurt Wallander mysteries.
