I nærheden af Ystad bliver den unge ejendomsmægler Louise Åkerblom fundet på en gårdsplads med en kugle i panden. Ved siden af hende ligger en afhugget, sort finger. Kriminalkommissær Kurt Wallander sættes på sagen. Wallander finder et spor, der fører til Sydafrika, hvor en flok fanatiske hvide vil forhindre valget af Nelson Mandela. Pludselig indser Wallander, at opklaringen af mordet er storpolitik. Hundredtusinder af menneskers liv ligger måske i hans hænder ...
Advokat Torstenson bremser pludselig op. I tågen midt på kørebanen står en køkkenstol med en skikkelse bundet fast på. Da Torstenson står ud af bilen, bliver han slået ihjel med et enkelt voldsomt slag i baghovedet - sådan forestiller Wallander sig, det er gået til. Og snart er han involveret i en sag om international økonomisk kriminalitet, hvor modstanderen er meget højt placeret og uden moralske skrupler.
Spiralling into an alcohol-fuelled depression after killing a man in the line of duty, Inspector Kurt Wallander has made up his mind to quit the police force for good.
In 1992, in peaceful Southern Sweden, a young housewife, a pillar of the Methodist church, disappears and Inspector Kurt Wallander and his team are called in to investigate. But he soon discovers that the chain of events leading to her disappearance began far away in South African.
The tenth riveting installment in the mystery thriller series that inspired the Netflix crime drama Young Wallander - "As satisfying for its emotional depth as its suspense.... A gripping mystery." --PEOPLE Magazine A retired navy officer has vanished in a forest near Stockholm. Kurt Wallander is prepared to stay out of the relatively straightforward investigation--which is, after all, another detective's responsibility--but the missing man is his daughter's father-in-law. With his typical disregard for rules and regulations, Wallander is soon pursuing his own brand of dogged detective work on someone else's case. His methods are often questionable, but the results are not: he finds an extremely complex situation which may involve the secret police and ties back to Cold War espionage. Adding to Wallander's concerns are more personal troubles. Having turned sixty, and having long neglected his health, he's become convinced that his memory is failing. As he pursues this baffling case, he must come to grips not only with the facts at hand, but also with his own troubling situation.

Tuntematon mies nousee taksin takapenkille. Matka jää miehen viimeiseksi: perillä taksikuski huomaa, että tämä istuu kyydissä kuolleena. Onko mies saanut sairaskohtauksen tai tehnyt oudon itsemurhan? Tarkkanäköinen komisario Kurt Wallander saa pian tietää, että mies on murhattu. Wallander alkaa tutkia tapausta ja joutuu toteamaan, että joskus ihmisten kohtalot kietoutuvat toisiinsa synkällä tavalla. Mies rannalla on toinen komisario Wallanderin tutkimuksista kertova selkokirja. Aiemmin Opikkeen pokkarisarjassa on ilmestynyt Valokuvaajan kuolema. Ruotsalaisen Henning Mankellin rikosromaanit ovat saavuttaneet suuren suosion maailmalla. Helppolukuinen dekkari sopii rikosromaanien ystäville ja erityisesti aikuisille lukijoille.
One frozen January morning at 5am, Inspector Wallander responds to what he believes is a routine call out. But now Wallander must forget his troubles and throw himself into a battle against time and against mounting racial hatred. Winner of the CWA Gold Dagger for Sidetracked.
En redningsflåde driver i land ved Skånes kyst en vinterdag, og i båden ligger to døde mænd. De er blevet tortureret og skudt, men hvem er de? Kriminalkommissær Wallander må følge mordernes spor til Riga, og nu begynder et indviklet og farligt, politisk spil, som Kurt Wallander efterhånden opdager, at han selv er en brik i. Nogen jager også ham.
Boken följer kriminalinspektör Kurt Wallander när han står inför ett gåtfullt fall som involverar en försvunnen kvinna och ett mord. Wallanders utredning leder honom genom vändningar av svek och fara, där hans färdigheter och beslutsamhet testas för att fånga förövaren innan det är för sent.
Midsommarafton 1996. Tre ungdomar stämmer möte i en undanskymd glänta på Österlen. Meningen är att ingen ska se när de byter om till historiska kläder för att i sommarnatten leka sina hemliga rollspel. Men bakom träden väntar någon. Någon som iakttar dem, väl förberedd med en fälla gillrad för att ge leken ett makabert slut.
Første bog i serien om Wallander. En ældre landmand og hans kone bliver bestialsk myrdet og skamferet til ukendelighed på en ensomt beliggende gård i Skåne. Ingen har nogensinde set så brutale mord i Sverige. Et af politiets spor peger mod udlændinge, og det udløser et voldsomt fremmedhad. Modstridende interesser lægger et massivt pres på opklaringsarbejdet og på kriminalkommissær Kurt Wallander, hvis privatliv også er i krise.» Mordere uden ansigt er både nyskabende og traditionelt spændende i den genre, som gjorde Mankells landsmænd, Sjöwall & Wahlöö, verdensberømte.«- Politiken
From the dean of Scandinavian noir, Henning Mankell, the internationally bestselling and universally acclaimed Kurt Wallander series, an incredible stand-alone masterpiece: a bone-chilling mystery that spans two centuries and four continents. In the far north of Sweden a small, quiet village has been almost entirely wiped out by a mass murderer. The only clue left at the scene is a red ribbon. Among the victims are the grandparents of Judge Birgitta Roslin, who sets out to find the killer. Despite being brushed off by the police, Birgitta is determined to prove that the murders were not a random act of violence but are part of something far more dark and complex. Her investigation leads to the highest echelons of power and into the recesses of history where the seeds of evil deeds were planted.
It was a senselessly violent crime: on a cold night in a remote Swedish farmhouse an elderly farmer is bludgeoned to death, and his wife is left to die with a noose around her neck. And as if this didn’t present enough problems for the Ystad police Inspector Kurt Wallander, the dying woman’s last word is foreign, leaving the police the one tangible clue they have–and in the process, the match that could inflame Sweden’s already smoldering anti-immigrant sentiments. Unlike the situation with his ex-wife, his estranged daughter, or the beautiful but married young prosecuter who has peaked his interest, in this case, Wallander finds a problem he can handle. He quickly becomes obsessed with solving the crime before the already tense situation explodes, but soon comes to realize that it will require all his reserves of energy and dedication to solve.
Helmikuu 1905. Anna Maria Lundmark seisoo reelingin laidalla Lovisa-laivan kannella samalla kun hänen aviomiehensä, perämies Lars Lundmarkin ruumis uppoaa mereen. Anna muistaa isänsä viimeiset sanat: "Köyhä enkeli, se sinä olet." Vuotta myöhemmin Anna omistaa Mosambikin portugalilaissiirtokunnan pääkaupungin suurimman bordellin. Sorretusta naisesta on tullut kaupungin voimahahmo, köyhästä enkelistä likainen enkeli. Kuka oli tämä nainen, joka päätyi Ruotsista Afrikkaan ja loi itselleen poikkeuksellisen valta-aseman? Ja mitä hänelle tapahtui? Henning Mankell kertoo Anna Lundmarkin kiehtovan tarinan.
Now that he's getting older, Joel Gustafson has a lot to consider. His birthday is next month. He'll be fifteen, and he can't stop thinking about the new liberties that come with being fifteen: he'll be allowed to ride a moped, and he'll no longer need to sneak into the cinema to see an adults-only film. And maybe his father will finally agree to leave their small Swedish town and the two of them will become sailors--something Joel has always dreamed of. Joel's life takes a turn, but nothing like he had anticipated. Joel and his father are unexpectedly faced with an aspect of their past and emotional wounds resurface. Can their relationship survive this complex situation, and the very different ways in which they respond?
