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 GuardianAfter 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.
