The much-anticipated return of Henning Mankellβs 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
affectedβvon Enke is his daughterβs father-in-lawβand
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
adversaryβhimself.
Suspenseful, darkly atmospheric, psychologically gripping,
The Troubled Man is certain to be celebrated by readers and
critics alike.
