Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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 Guardian
After 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.
"Originally published in Sweden as Handen, by Leopard förlag, Stockholm, 2013."--Title page verso.
When Inspector Kurt Wallander discovers a shallow grave in the garden of his new house, he investigates the truth about the residence and its previous owner.
