In this case, it is Detective Kurt Wallander’s obstinate desire to see that justice is done that brings the truth to light.
On the Swedish coastline, two bodies, victims of grisly torture and cold execution, are discovered in a life raft. With no witnesses, no motives, and no crime scene, Detective Wallander is frustrated and uncertain he has the ability to solve a case as mysterious as it is heinous. But after the victims are traced to the Baltic state of Latvia, a country gripped by the upheaval of Soviet disintegration, Major Liepa of the Riga police takes over the investigation.
Thinking his work done, Wallander slips into the routine once more, until he is called suddenly to Riga and plunged into an alien world in which shadows are everywhere, everything is watched, and old regimes will do anything to stay alive.

Eleştirmen yorumları
“Dick Hill’s portrayal of Mankell’s Swedish police detective, Kurt Wallander, is masterful…Hill’s Latvian detectives have just enough of an accent for distinction, and his tone darkens astutely as Wallander begins spiraling deeper into the political underworld of the bewildering country he is reluctantly immersed in…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
(AudioFile)“A gripping, thoughtful police procedural that engages from the first page.”
(Irish Independent)“A tale rich in gritty local culture…The plot is satisfyingly seamy, [and] Wallander is, as always, discombobulated and astute.”
(Los Angeles Times)“The writing is spare, the characterization deft, the atmosphere strong, and the suspense overwhelming.”
(Times Literary Supplement (London))“Mankell’s intense, accomplished mystery...[is] riveting reading.”
