    <![CDATA[Zwei Tote im Schlauchboot an Südschwedens Küste gefunden! Die Reise nach Riga, wohin die Spur führt, gestaltet sich für Kommissar Wallander unter Blitzen und Krachen (der Soundtrack der Kassette ist tatsächlich martialisch laut und gut!). In diesem Fall aus dem Jahr 1991 verschlägt es den sympathischen schwedischen Opernfreund und Fachmann in Sachen Weltschmerz ins politisch unruhige Lettland, wo zudem ein Kollege Wallanders ermordet aufgefunden wurde.<p>   In dem immer noch unter sowjetischem Einfluss stehenden Land gerät Kurt Wallander zwischen die Fronten korrupter Politiker und der lettischen Freiheitsbewegung. Ein teuflisches Komplott von internationalen Ausmaßen beginnt sich abzuzeichnen, in dessen Verlauf der Schwede in den Fängen der <em>Hunde von Riga</em> fast sein Leben lässt.<p>  Die Geräuscheabteilung geizt nicht mit Horroreffekten. Die Musik von Christian Hagitte und Simon Bertling (die auch für die Regie zeichneten), hat -- inklusive Streichquartett -- beinahe symphonischen Charakter. Heinz Kloss als Wallander ist in Hochform -- und unterm Kopfhörer macht das Ganze doppelt so viel Spaß. <em>--Ravi Unger</em> <p> Hörspiel; 2 Audiokassetten; Gesamtlaufzeit ca. 120 min.</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Second in the Kurt Wallander series.<br/><br/>On the Swedish coastline, two bodies, victims of grisly torture and cold execution, are discovered in a life raft. With no witnesses, no motives, and no crime scene, Detective Kurt Wallander is frustrated and uncertain he has the ability to solve a case as mysterious as it is heinous. But after the victims are traced to the Baltic state of Latvia, a country gripped by the upheaval of Soviet disintegration, Major Liepa of the Riga police takes over the investigation. Thinking his work done, Wallander slips into routine once more, until suddenly, he is called to Riga and plunged into an alien world where shadows are everywhere, everything is watched, and old regimes will do anything to stay alive.]]>

    <![CDATA[A few days later what they have been warned of comes to pass: a life raft is washed up on a beach. In it are two men, dressed in expensive suits, shot dead.The dead men were Eastern European criminals, victims of what seems to have been a gangland hit. But what appears in Sweden to be an open-and-shut case soon takes on a far more sinister aspect. Wallander travels across the Baltic Sea to Riga in Latvia, a nation experiencing the massive social and political upheaval that will lead to its independence from the Soviet Union. There Wallander is plunged into a frozen, alien world of police surveillance, scarcely veiled threats, and lies. Doomed always to be one step behind the shadowy figures he pursues , he comes to understand what it is to live in a nation in which democracy is still only a dream. Only his dogged, almost subconscious desire to se that justice is done brings the truth to light.]]>

    <![CDATA[Bringing the acclaimed series to a close, <em>The Dogs of Riga</em> takes Inspector Kurt Wallander across the Baltic to a disintegrating soviet union  <p>February, 1991. A life raft washes ashore in Skåne carrying two dead men in expensive suits, shot gangland-style. Inspector Kurt Wallander and his team determine that the men were Eastern European criminals. But what appears in Sweden to be an open-and-shut case soon plunges Wallander into an alien world of police surveillance, thinly veiled threats, and life-endangering lies.  <p>When another murder is committed, Wallander must travel to Riga, Latvia, at the peak of the massive social and political upheaval that preceded the nation's independence from the Soviet Union. Struggling to catch up with the culprits he pursues in this shadowy nation, Wallander finds that he must make a choice, decide who is lying and who is telling the truth, and test his bravery.</p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Another good Wallander mystery.  This one is much more international intrigue and espionage type, than local crime, and it just shows Kurt up as a man not suited to such endeavors.  But, because he becomes emotionally invested in a woman, he is motivated to give it his best shot, which proves to be ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71103273">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Op een winterse dag spoelt een rubbervlot met twee dode mannen aan op de zuidkust van het Zweedse Skane. Na een anonieme tip stelt de politie een onderzoek in. De mannen zijn vóór hun executie gemarteld. Identificatie aan de hand van hun gebit levert een spoor op dat Wallander naar de Letse hoofdstad Riga voert. Daar dreigt hij een pion te worden in een Baltische intrige.]]>

    <![CDATA[Bringing the acclaimed series to a close, <em>The Dogs of Riga</em> takes Inspector Kurt Wallander across the Baltic to a disintegrating soviet union  <p>February, 1991. A life raft washes ashore in Skåne carrying two dead men in expensive suits, shot gangland-style. Inspector Kurt Wallander and his team determine that the men were Eastern European criminals. But what appears in Sweden to be an open-and-shut case soon plunges Wallander into an alien world of police surveillance, thinly veiled threats, and life-endangering lies.  <p>When another murder is committed, Wallander must travel to Riga, Latvia, at the peak of the massive social and political upheaval that preceded the nation's independence from the Soviet Union. Struggling to catch up with the culprits he pursues in this shadowy nation, Wallander finds that he must make a choice, decide who is lying and who is telling the truth, and test his bravery.</p></p>]]>

I was prepared to keep reading of the Sweden I love in the previous Wallander book, but this one takes place in Latvia.
