The much-anticipated return of Henning Mankellrsquo;s brilliant, brooding detective Kurt Wallander.Håkan 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 affectedmdash;von Enke is his daughterrsquo;s father-in-lawmdash;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 adversarymdash;himself.Suspenseful, darkly atmospheric, psychologically gripping, The Troubled Man is certain to be celebrated by readers and critics alike.From the Hardcover edition.
Dark past secrets haunt the pages of Henning Mankell's 11th novel in his globally recognized Kurt Wallander mystery series. The promise of a grandchild on the way has the self-reflexive and sympathetically dysfunctional detective thinking back on his own life, while the disappearance of a retired Swedish naval officer ropes Mankell into an off-the-books investigation that unearths some complex, politically charged Cold War-era spy secrets.
