With the same financial worries and physical complaints as the citizenry he’s sworn to protect, he is a cop who unhesitatingly puts public safety before his own. We accompany him through the intimate milestones of his life as he searches for justice, as well as a girlfriend, a new house, a dog. Their success may boil down to the simple fact that Wallander is at once hero and everyman. The Wallander books by Henning Mankell (pictured) have become international bestsellers. Wallander’s tiny social circle includes his perceptive daughter Linda and his father, an eccentric painter.
Wallander is irritable, peevish, and has a strong distaste for politics that get in the way of police work. The quintessential bloodhound, Wallander takes his cases home where, with his opera collection and a glass of wine, he tries to ward off the evil that men do… and his own despair. His peculiar urkraft consists of making unconscious observations that nag him until they manifest in the nick of time for him to nab a murderer. Kurt Wallander, a detective in the small Swedish coastal town of Ystad, is a fiercely dedicated cop with a knack for reading crime scenes.
