But with his only clue a picture of a woman no one in Sweden seems to know, he can’t begin to imagine how. Reeling from his own father’s death and facing his own deteriorating health, Wallander tracks the lethal progress of the killer. Locked in a desperate effort to catch him before he strikes again, Wallander always seems to be just one step behind.

Based on a real-life land mine victim, this middle reader novel tells a story of recovery, hope and coming of age of an African girl who loses her legs to a land mine.

Henning Mankell är en av våra mest betydande samtidsskildrare. Tea-Bag är en roman som skildrar ett Sverige som många av oss aldrig möter och ger röst åt en stor del av vår befolkning som normalt sett aldrig gör sin stämma hörd.

A brave, moving and unflinchingly honest YA novel about a young girl''s life in Mozambique, where poverty, exploitation, HIV/AIDS and the legacy of war are constant problems. This book continues the story of Sofia, from Secrets in the Fire, who lost her legs after a landmine accident.

" A ce polar sur la peur de l''Autre, il fallait un héros exceptionnel. Le policier Kurt Wallander en est un, dans la mesure où il prétend simplement être un homme, rien qu''un homme solitaire et blessé, proche du désespoir ordinaire. Ce roman noir, copieux, haletant, nous poursuit bien après l''arrestation des meurtriers. Car, dans les glaces nordiques, c''est non seulement la solution d''une énigme que l''écrivain nous dévoile, mais aussi l''âme d''une nation autrefois douée pour le bonheur et que la joie de vivre a désertée. Le constat est dur à l''image de ce livre magnifique où les neiges éternelles du suspense se teintent d''un sang d''aujourd''hui. ", Michel Grisolia, L''Express, 28 avril 1994. Meurtriers sans visage est la première enquête de l''inspecteur Wallander publiée par Christian Bourgois en 1994.
