From the Inside Flap:
Sixth in the Kurt Wallander series.
On Midsummer's Eve, three role-playing teens dressed in eighteenth-century garb are shot in a secluded Swedish meadow. When one of Inspector Kurt Wallander's most trusted colleagues-someone whose help he hoped to rely on to solve the crime-also turns up dead, Wallander knows the murders are related. But with his only clue a picture of a woman no one in Sweden seems to know, he can't begin to imagine how. Reeling from his own father's death and facing his own deteriorating health, Wallander tracks the lethal progress of the killer. Locked in a desperate effort to catch him before he strikes again, Wallander always seems to be just one step behind.

Book Description First British edition, signed by the author to the title page. Hardback. 440pp. Dark blue cloth boards with gilt to spine. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. It's Midsummer's Eve in Skane, Sweden's southernmost province. Three young friends meet in a wood, and in the eerie dusk don costumes and act out a masque - or so it seems to the person who watches them. This unseen observer soon brings their performance to an end. The approach is careful, the aim perfect. Three bullets, three corpses. Wallander's investigation reveals something that no one else in the team could ever have imagined. But still they remain terrifyingly one step behind the lethal process of a killer whose meticulous methods and clinical selection of victims belie the grotesque and barbarous nature of the crimes committed. This is the fifth in the Wallander series. Book and jacket both in near fine condition. Jacket unclipped. Book. Seller Inventory # 1305560
