Synopsis

Baffled, caught in a net of frustration and media attention, Wallander is more Wallander-esque than ever: blunder-prone, burdened by bouts of absent-mindedness and by sudden rages, yet steadfastly professional, dogged, tenacious and brilliantly intuitive. Which is good but doesn't really change much because society is bad.... Mankell continues to be a master of atmosphere and suspense.
