  • "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 Wallander's 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."

  • "La placidez habitual de la ciudad sueca de Ystad se ve perturbada cuando, con cierto intervalo de tiempo, tres hombres aparecen salvajemente asesinados. Las víctimas, dedicadas a la ornitología, el cultivo de orquídeas y la poesía, llevaban una vida sosegada y tranquila, lo cual hace aún más incomprensible la brutalidad de que han sido objeto. Durante la investigación del caso, Kurt Wallander descubre que debe enfrentarse a un asesino de una temible inteligencia: el inspector ha encontrado, por fin, un adversario de su talla."
  • "Four nuns and a fifth woman, a visitor to Africa, are killed in a savage night-time attack. Months later in Sweden, the news of the unexplained tragedy sets off a cruel vengeance for these killings. Inspector Kurt Wallander is home from an idyllic holiday in Rome, full of energy and plans for the future. Autumn settles in, and Wallander prays the winter will be peaceful. But when he investigates the disappearance of an elderly birdwatcher he discovers a gruesome and meticulously planned murder - a body impaled in a trap of sharpened bamboo poles. Then another man is reported missing. And once again Wallander's life is on hold as he and his team work tirelessly to find a link between the series of vicious murders. Making progress through dogged police work and forever battling to make sense of the violence of modern Sweden, Wallander leads a massive investigation to find a killer whose crimes are the product of new realities that make him despair."

Trois hommes âgés, un ornithologue et poète, un passionné d'orchidées et un chercheur, ont été retrouvés assassinés, dans des mises en scène sadiques. Et si le crime était la vengeance d'une autre victime contre ses bourreaux ?"

  • "When his father dies and a serial killer confounds him and his team of detectives with increasingly brutal murders, Wallander is plunged into the dark reality of his life as a cop. He must find out how a series of seemingly unrelated deaths are connected before it happens again."
  • "Bei der Mordserie, die Kurt Wallander gerade aufzuklären hat, kann es selbst erfahrenen Polizisten kalt den Rücken hinunterlaufen: Einen alten Mann findet man in einer Pfahlgrube aufgespießt, einen anderen halbverhungert, beinahe nackt an einen Baum gebunden und erwürgt. Ein dritter wurde in einem mit Steinen beschwerten Sack in einem See ertränkt. Die Opfer scheinen auf den ersten Blick achtbare Bürger gewesen zu sein, doch stellt sich bei genaueren Nachforschungen sehr bald heraus, daß auch sie Frauen grausam mißhandelt haben. Wenn nun aber der Mord die Rache eines Opfers an Mördern und Vergewaltigern ist, muß Wallander sich beeilen, bevor das nächste, noch grausamere Verbrechen geschieht ..."

  • "Henning Mankell, der meistgelesene schwedische Romancier und grossartiger Menschenkenner, hat einen modernen Detektivroman von atemberaubender Spannung geschrieben. Aber dieses Buch ist noch mehr: ein Roman über das Verhältnis zwischen Männern und Frauen, ein psychologischer Roman und ein grosser Gesellschaftsroman. Am Ende siegt die Gerechtigkeit. Aber der Grund, auf dem sie steht, ist längst unterhöhlt. "Die fünfte Frau" wurde zum Buch des Jahres 1998 gewählt. "Faszinierend und unglaublich spannend. Eine Entdeckung!" Brigitte "Ein Kriminalroman, der einem das Wochenende nehmen (und geben) kann." Herrmann Wallmann, Süddeutsche Zeitung."
