About the Author:
Henning Mankell is Sweden’s single most-read author around the world. His novels, which include the bestselling Kurt Wallander mysteries, have been translated into thirty-seven languages with more than 30 million copies in print worldwide. He has received the German Tolerance Prize and the Macallan Golden Dagger and has been a three-time finalist for the Los Angeles Times Mystery/Thriller Book Prize. Born in Stockholm in 1948 and raised in a village in northern Sweden, Mankell divides his time between Sweden and Maputo, Mozambique, where he works as the director of Teatro Avenida.
From AudioFile:
Once again, Dick Hill uses his terrific understated style to bring the gloomy and self-doubting police detective Kurt Wallander to life. Hill's effective timing always matches the action (Wallander in danger!), the emotion (Wallander's depression about the state of Swedish society) and even the geography (rainy and bleak). In THE PYRAMID, Henning Mankell goes back in time with five stories that precede the series. We begin with Wallander's first case as a 21-year-old patrol officer investigating the stabbing of his neighbor on his own time while wooing girlfriend Mona (his ex-wife in all the Wallander novels). The stories end in the late 1980s as the veteran detective finds connections between a plane crash and the execution-style deaths of two elderly shopkeepers. As always, it's a treat to spend several hours with Mankell, Wallander, and Hill. A.B. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First American Edition. New York: New Press, 2008. First American Edition. 8vo. Hard cover, 392 pp. "When Kurt Wallander first appeared in Faceless Killers back in 1990, he was a senior police officer, just turned 40, with his life in a mess. His wife had left him and his father barely acknowledged him; he ate badly and drank alone at night. The five stories in The Pyramid chronicle the events that led him to such a place. We see Wallander in the early years, spending hours on the beat while trying to solve a murder off-duty. We witness the beginnings of his fragile relationship with Mona, the woman he has his heart set on marrying, and learn the source of the difficulties with his father. These thrilling tales provide a fascinating insight into Wallander's character; from the stabbing of a neighbor in 1969 to a light aircraft accident in 1989, every story is a vital piece of the Wallander series. "Mankell is that unusual thing: a European thriller writer whose work holds up as literature and who has broken out as an international phenomenon." NYTimes." A new book in a new dust jacket, protected with a mylar cover. Seller Inventory # KT-B634-01
