β¦ Synopsis
The much-anticipated return of Henning Mankell's brilliant,
brooding detective Kurt Wallander.
HΓ₯kan von Enke, a retired naval
officer, disappears during a walk in a forest near Stockholm. Wallander is not
officially involved in the investigation, but he is personally affected - von
Enke is his daughter's father-in-law - and Wallander is soon interfering in
matters that are not his responsibility. He is confounded by the information he
uncovers, which hints at elaborate Cold War espionage.
Wallander is also
haunted by his own past and desperate to live up to the hope that a new
granddaughter represents, and will soon come face-to-face with his most
intractable adversary - himself.
Suspenseful, darkly atmospheric,
psychologically gripping, The Troubled Man is certain to be celebrated by
readers and critics alike.
