The eleventh riveting installment in the mystery thriller series
that inspired the Netflix crime drama Young Wallander -
Wallander is one of the most impressive creations in crime fiction
today.... An old-fashioned moral force and sense of disquiet of the sort
rarely found in contemporary crime fiction. --The Guardian
After nearly thirty years in the same job, Inspector Kurt Wallander is
tired, restless, and itching to make a change. He is taken with a
certain old farmhouse, perfectly situated in a quiet countryside with a
charming, overgrown garden. There he finds the skeletal hand of a corpse
in a shallow grave. Wallander's investigation takes him deep into the
history of the house and the land, until finally the shocking truth
about a long-buried secret is brought to light.
Includes an afterword by the author.
