El hombre inquieto
El adiós del inspector Kurt Wallander La vida del inspector Kurt Wallander ha cambiado ligeramente: no sólo ha hecho realidad su sueño de tener una casa en el campo, sino que, además, su hija Linda lo ha convertido en abuelo. Sin embargo, su tranquilidad se ve perturbada poco después, un día de invierno de 2008, cuando el suegro de Linda, un oficial de alto rango de la Marina sueca llamado Håkan von Enke, desaparece en un bosque cerca de Estocolmo. Aunque la investigación la dirige la policía de Estocolmo, Wallander no puede evitar implicarse, sobre todo cuando una segunda persona desaparece en misteriosas circunstancias. Algunas pistas apuntan a grupos de extrema derecha en el seno de la Marina sueca y a la época de la Guerra Fría, en particular a la década de los ochenta, cuando varios submarinos soviéticos fueron acusados de violar territorio sueco. Wallander comprende que está a punto de desvelar un gran secreto cuyo alcance abarcaría toda la historia de Suecia tras la segunda guerra mundial. Pero una nube aún más negra asoma por el horizonte.

Henning Mankell was born in Stockholm, Sweden, the son of a judge. He grew up in the towns of Sveg and Borås. His grandfather, also called Henning Mankell (1868–1930), was a well-known composer. At the age of 20, Mankell was the assistant director at the Riks Theater in Stockholm, and he was also writing. In the 1970s he moved to Norway, where he lived with a woman who was a member of the Maoist Communist Labour Party, although he never officially joined the Party. He moved to Africa and lived in several African countries, and in 1985 he founded the Avenida Theater in Maputo, Mozambique, where he continues to spend about half of every year. In 1997 he began his most well-known series of novels, a series of murder mysteries set in Ystad, Sweden, featuring the police detective Kurt Wallander. He also established a publishing house, Leopard Förlag, to publish young talents from both Africa and Sweden. He is married to Eva Bergman, daughter of Ingmar Bergman.
