There is no explanation and no motive. Inspector Kurt Wallander and his team are called in to investigate. As Inspector Wallander is introduced to this missing person's case he has a gut feeling that the victim will never be found alive but he has no idea how far he will have to go in search of the killer and the origin of the crime. In South Africa, Nelson Mandela has made his long walk to freedom, setting in train the country's painful journey towards the end of Apartheid. Wallander and his colleagues find themselves caught up in a complex web involving renegade members of South Africa's secret service and a former KGB agent, all of whom are set upon halting Mandela's rise to power. In an increasingly globalised world Wallander and his team are faced with international terrorism which knows no frontiers - they must prevent a hideous crime that means to dam the tide of history.Hide synopsis

Description:Fine in Fine jacket. SIGNED first English language edition of...Fine in Fine jacket. SIGNED first English language edition of Mankell's 3rd Wallander crime novel was first published in Sweden in 1993. SIGNED by the author on the title page. If you're in Masterpiece Theatre territory, check out Kenneth Branagh as Kurt Wallander on PBS-the first 3 segments in the US are Sidetracked, Firewall and One Step Behind. Amazing. All of our first editions are first printings unless otherwise noted. Dustwrappers are protected with clear archival wraps and we pack each book like it's a Tiffany egg.
I really enjoy Mankell's mysteries. You get deep inside his characters and, for once, the supervisor is competent and supportive. I am working my way through all of the series and haven't found a bad one yet.
