When retired policeman Herbert Molin is found brutally slaughtered on his remote farm in the northern forests of Sweden, police find strange tracks in the snow — as if someone had been practicing the tango. Stefan Lindman, a young police officer recently diagnosed with mouth cancer, decides to investigate the murder of his former colleague, but is soon enmeshed in a mystifying case with no witnesses and no apparent motives. Terrified of the disease that could take his life, Lindman becomes more and more reckless as he unearths the chilling links between Molin’s death and an underground neo-Nazi network that runs further and deeper than he could ever have imagined.

Henning Mankell here presents what is expected to be the final episode for his brooding, iconic detective. When retired Swedish naval officer Håkan von Enke disappears, Wallander is compelled to investigate, both because the man had confided in him about an incident with a Soviet sub decades before, and because he is the future father-in-law of Wallander's daughter. "It is a work of genuine heft and substance, a melancholy, elegiac book that is thoughtful and perceptive about memory, regret and the unfathomability of human nature.... Mankell has created in Wallander a shambling central character whose unconventional personality is at least as compelling as the crimes he investigates.... We can feel Mankell consciously saying goodbye to these people [from Wallander's past] and that he will regret not writing about them as much as we will miss reading about them. Which is more, really, than words can say. Always a reticent man, Wallander shows an intensity of emotion here, a last gasp of felt life, that is both moving and oddly inspiring. An unforgettable series finale."—Booklist (starred review). Henning Mankell is the winner of Glass Key and Golden Dagger awards; the Kurt Wallander mysteries were adapted into a BBC/PBS television series starring Kenneth Branagh.
