...dour lot, but Kurt Wallander may be the grumpiest of them all. In this, Mankell?s 37th novel, Wallander has recently shot and killed a man?something that would not faze a hard-boiled U.S. gunman but is enough to send this veteran cop into a drunken, downward spiral. He decides to leave the force, only to realize an hour later that he has made a terrible mistake. He comes back, of course, drawn by his guilt over a friend?s murder and eventually finds himself on the money trail of a smiling man whom Mankell sees as the picture...
