What is The Man Who Smiled (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard) about?
<p><P>In this riveting Henning Mankell thriller, a disillusioned Inspector Kurt Wallander finds himself in a deep personal and professional crisis after killing a man in the line of duty. After almost a year of sick leave, he hits rock bottom and resolves to quit the police force for good. Against his better judgment Wallander stays on the force when unforeseen circumstances compel him to investigate the murder of a friend. While working closely with Ann-Britt Hoglund, the department’s first female detective, he stumbles on a horrific world where human body parts are traded like stock, and just as he comes close to uncovering the truth, the same shadowy threats responsible for the murders close in on Wallander himself.</p><h3>The New York Times - Marilyn Stasio</h3><p>When the bleak landscapes of Henning Mankell s Swedish police procedurals start to look like home, it s time to head for the hills.
