Information

One frozen January morning at 5am, Inspector Wallander responds to what he believes is a routine call out. When he reaches the isolated farmhouse he discovers a bloodbath. An old man has been tortured and beaten to death, his wife lies barely alive beside his shattered body, both victims of a violence beyond reason. Wallander's life is a shambles. His wife has left him, his daughter refuses to speak to him, and even his ageing father barely tolerates him. He works tirelessly, eats badly, and drinks his nights away in a lonely, neglected flat. But now Wallander must forget his troubles and throw himself into a battle against time.

"An exquisite novel of mesmerizing depth and suspense." --"Los Angeles Times"

"An especially satisfying crime novel, like those of such past masters as Georges Simenon, Nicholas Freeling, and Sweden's own Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo." --"The Wall Street Journal
"
"Intelligent, moving and topical, this is a thriller of the very best kind." --"The Times" (London)

"A well-crafted police procedural, the story moves along at a brisk pace and comes to an exciting climax." --"St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"

"From the Trade Paperback edition."
