false 935308 50 If you remember with pleasure those dark and gloomy Martin Beck mysteries by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, you'll be glad to plunge into the first of Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallender mysteries to appear in English. Wallender's personal life can occasionally seem more depressing than even a provincial Swedish detective should be asked to bear, but his investigative skills are strictly first rate. And Mankell's story of the brutal murder of an elderly farm couple uncovers an unusual aspect of life in modern Sweden--a streak of fear and prejudice against the many newcomers from Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe who have sought asylum there. 2885250 book 1991 Mördare utan ansikte total:1065|5:171|4:489|3:318|2:66|1:17| 1065 3929 1481 203 2 2 false false Fri Oct 24 22:28:42 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 31 02:30:49 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 2 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Dec 20 12:29:11 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 20 12:29:24 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 2 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 21 02:32:29 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 01 19:18:44 -0800 2009
