  • "When Louise's son, Henrik, is found dead in his flat, she refuses to believe it was suicide. Clues that only a mother could detect lead her to believe something more sinister took place. While looking through his papers, she discovers he was obsessed with the conspiracy theory that JFK's brain disappeared prior to the autopsy - along with the vital evidence regarding bullet exit wounds. The only lead is a letter and photograph from Henrik's girlfriend in Mozambique. On a quest to unravel the mystery surrounding her son's death she goes to Africa - a continent rife with disease, poverty and corruption.

  • "All signs indicate that the death of young Henrik Cantor is a suicide. However, his parents don't agree and begin an investigation of their own. One day in the fall of 2004 the Swedish archaeologist Louise Cantor leaves her excavation in Greece to attend a conference in Stockholm. She is to meet her son Henrik there, but he does not turn up. When Louise manages to get into his flat she finds Henrik dead. Everything indicates a suicide, but Louise refuses to believe it. Together with her ex-husband, Aron Cantor, Louise tries to trace the whereabouts of Henrik in the last period of his life. This leads into a underworld that has been created in the wake of the AIDS epidemic, a world populated by people trying to exploit the victims of the catastrophe. There are cynical businessmen selling infected blood, research teams carrying out dubious and dangerous tests in their hunt for a vaccine, and not least there are drug dealers who in the aids medicine have found a new object to sell. Louise and Aron soon realise that exactly like Henrik they are risking their lives when following the tracks that lead upwards and upwards to mighty financial institutions and into the corridors of power. And for those who have started this journey there is no return. Kennedy's brain (Kennedys hjärna) is a breathtaking tale about the great collective lie under which Europe and the Western world is living in the time of AIDS."
  • "Als die Archäologin Louise Cantor von ihrer Ausgrabung in Griechenland zu einem Vortrag nach Schweden reist, will sie auch ihren 25-jährigen Sohn wiedersehen. Doch als sie die Wohnung in Stockholm betritt, liegt Henrik tot im Bett. Louise glaubt nicht an einen Selbstmord. In Henriks Kleiderschrank findet sie eine Menge Material zu der Frage, warum Kennedys Hirn nach der Obduktion spurlos verschwand. War dieser junge Idealist einem kriminellen Geheimnis auf der Spur? In Louise Cantors spannender Recherche, die sie von Australien über Barcelona nach Maputo in Mosambik zu den Ärmsten der Aids-Kranken führt, finden die Hauptthemen in Henning Mankells Schreiben zusammen: die Aufdeckung aktueller Verbrechen in unserer Gesellschaft und die sozialen Probleme auf dem schwarzen Kontinent."
