Helpful Score: 2

Third in the Kurt Wallander, police detective in Ystad, Sweden series. This was a big juicy detective story with underlying political intrigues, beginning with the murder of a Swedish real estate agent and ending with a plot to assassinate Nelson Mandela as South Africa was approaching the end of apartheid. Quite a wide stretch between the two, but plausibly done. Wallander was up to his old solo he-man tricks and the book was full of the usual Swedish melancholia, but I still raced through the book and found it hard to put down.
