Synopsis
Hennig Mankell se ha convertido desde hace tiempo uno de los escritores suecos contemporaneos mas admirados en su pais y, desde hace poco, uno de los mas leidos en toda Europa y el mundo. Y es que, con la serie de libros protagonizada por el inspector Kurt Wallander -entre los que se incluye La quinta mujer- ha alcanzado ya la cifra de un millon de ejemplares. En este caso, la placidez habitual de la ciudad sueca de Ystad se ve rota cuando, con cierto intervalo de tiempo, tres hombres aparecen salvajemente asesinados. Las victimas llevaban una vida apacible y tranquila, dedicadas a la ornitologia, el cultivo de orquideas y la poesia, lo cual hace aun mas incomprensible el casi insoportable sadismo de que han sido objeto. Durante la investigacion del caso, Wallander -un detective vulnerable y con aires de antiheroe- descubre que no solo debe enfrentarse a un asesino de temible inteligencia, sino que este parece guiarse por un sanguinario y turbio deseo de venganza. Cuando por fin la policia cree estar tras la buena pista, un nuevo asesinato da un vuelco a la investigacion y provoca un motin entre la asustada poblacion local. / In an African convent, four nuns and a unidentified fifth woman are brutally murdered--the death of the unknown woman covered up by the local police. A year later in Sweden, Inspector Kurt Wallander is baffled and appalled by two murders. Holger Eriksson, a retired car dealer and bird watcher, is impaled on sharpened bamboo poles in a ditch behind his secluded home, and the body of a missing florist is discovered--strangled and tied to a tree. The only clues Wallander has to go on are a skull, a diary, and a photo of three men. What ensues is a case that will test Wallanders strength and patience, because in order to discover the reason behind these murders, he will also need to uncover the elusive connection between these deaths and the earlier unsolved murder in Africa of the fifth woman.
