false <![CDATA[The Man Who Smiled (Wallander #4)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169315337m/39792.jpg 39792 38 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. 1323052 book 1994 The Man Who Smiled (Wallander #4) total:584|5:105|4:259|3:179|2:33|1:8| 584 2172 765 75 3 1 false false Sun Feb 17 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 09 17:31:23 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 17 06:10:15 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Jan 21 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Sun Dec 14 00:51:35 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 14 00:51:35 -0800 2008 Mankell liefert üblicherweise Besseres
