Sidetracked

Midsummer approaches and Kurt Wallander clears his desk and prepares to set off on holiday. But his plans are ruined as a series of vicious murders shatter the tranquillity.

Inspector Kurt Wallander's long-anticipated vacation plans are interrupted by two horrific deaths: the self-immolation of an unidentified young woman and the brutal murder of the former minister of justice. As the police struggle to piece together the few clues they have, the killer strikes again. Sidetracked is the seventh book in the series about Inspector Kurt Wallander. Hailed by the Los Angeles Times Book Review as »Mankell at his best«, Sidetracked merges blistering suspense with adroit social and political commentary, from the disintegration of the family and the exploitation of women to corruption and scandal at the highest levels of government, in »a quintessential example of the hard-boiled European procedural« (Booklist).
