Kurt Wallander Series Book 1

The first in the Kurt Wallander mystery series.

It was a crime of senseless violence. On a cold night in a remote Swedish
farmhouse, an elderly farmer was bludgeoned to death, his wife left to die with
a noose around her neck. As if this didn't present enough problems for Ystad
police inspector Kurt Wallander, the dying woman's last word, his only tangible
clue, were foreign. If publicized, they could be the match that would inflame
Sweden's already smoldering anti-immigrant sentiments.

With this case - unlike the situation with his ex-wife, his estranged daughter,
or the young prosecutor who has piqued his interest - Wallander feels he has
a problem he can handle. He quickly becomes obsessed with solving the crime
before the already tense situation explodes, though it will require all of his
talent to do so.

Henning Mankell, 1991 English translation Steven T. Murray.
