A small-town murder leads to international intrigue in this
“first-class thriller” from the New York Times–bestselling
master of Scandinavian crime (The New York Times Book Review).
Inspector Kurt Wallander returns in the second of Henning Mankell’s
award-winning, internationally-bestselling detective novels, this time
to investigate the execution-style killing of a Swedish housewife. The
local police focus on a determined stalker who’s suddenly nowhere to
be found, but when they finally catch up with their prime suspect his
alibi turns out to be airtight. Digging deeper, Wallander discovers
that the woman’s death is more complex and dangerous than a crime of
passion. His search for the truth takes him far from home and into the
murky world of apartheid-era South Africa, where he uncovers a
sinister assassination plot. Soon the small-town detective finds
himself in a high-stakes tangle with the South African secret service
and a ruthless ex-KGB agent. Combining heart-pounding suspense with
probing social commentary, The White Lioness is an essential chapter
in the addictive mystery series that inspired the hit TV show
Wallander starring Kenneth Branagh. “It is not hard to see why the
Wallander books have made such an impact” (The Times Literary
Supplement).
