  • "The redoubtable Inspector Wallander's long-awaited holiday is interrupted by the investigation of an unidentified young woman's self-immolation. Could it be related to the ensuing spate of bizarre murders, in which the killer scalps his victim?"
  • "In Sweden, detective Kurt Wallander hunts for a serial killer who scalps his victims. The story is told from two points of view, that of Wallander and that of the killer--a boy. By the author of The White Lioness."
  • "His long-awaited vacation interrupted by two deaths, Inspector Kurt Wallander begins trying to piece together how the brutal murder of a former minister of justice is related to the self-immolation of an unidentified young woman."
  • "Wallander's vacation is put on hold to investigate a series of brutal murders obviously committed by the same person but with no visible pattern."@en
  • "Inspecteur Wallander kijkt verlangend uit naar zijn vakantie, maar twee gruwelijke gebeurtenissen verstoren zijn plannen: hij is getuige van de zelfverbranding van een jong meisje en kort daarop wordt het eerste slachtoffer gevonden van een seriemoordenaar."
  • "En Suecia nadie recuerda un verano tan caluroso como el de 1994. Mientras la gente sigue con pasión los partidos finales del Campeonato Mundial de Fútbol, el inspector Kurt Wallander se dispone a iniciar unas cortas vacaciones. Pero la tranquilidad de la provincia de Escania se ve truncada cuando una muchacha, posiblemente extranjera, se suicida quemándose a lo bonzo. Wallander y su equipo tratan de averiguar la identidad de la chica y los motivos de esa trágica decisión; pero los sustos no han hecho más que empezar, pues un brutal asesino en serie ha comenzado su macabra actividad. Las primeras víctimas son un antiguo ministro de Justicia, un adinerado tratante de arte y un ladronzuelo de poca monta. Sin que pueda sospecharlo, la pista a la que Wallander se aferra para detener esta carnicería le conducirá a las altas esferas de la política, y pondrá seriamente en peligro su vida y la de sus allegados."
  • "Kurt Wallander is called to a nearby field where a teenage girl has been loitering all day long. He arrives just in time to watch her douse herself in gasoline and set herself aflame. The next day he is called to a beach where Sweden's former Minister of Justice has been axed to death and scalped. The murder has the obvious markings of a demented serial killer, and Wallander is frantic to find him before he strikes again. But his investigation is beset with a handful of obstacles--a department distracted by the threat of impending cutbacks and the frivolity of World Cup soccer, a tenuous long-distance relationship with a murdered policeman's widow, and the unshakably haunting preoccupation with the young girl who set herself on fire."

  • "Der Selbstmord eines jungen Mädchens ist nur der Auftakt zu einer dramatischen Jagd nach einem Serienkiller, der in der Maske eines Indianers tötet. Wallander steht vor einer der kompliziertesten Ermittlungen seiner Laufbahn: Welche Verbindung gibt es zwischen den Opfern, einem pensionierten Justizminister, einem bekannten Kunsthändler, einem kleinen Hehler und einem Finanzhai? Warum hat der Täter sie alle auf so grausame Weise ermordet? Schon bald stellt sich heraus: Nicht nur der Mörder agiert mit erschreckender Kaltblütigkeit, sondern auch die ermordeten Männer haben entsetzliche Verbrechen begangen - ein alptraumhaftes Szenario. Und Wallander ahnt weder, welche Rolle er selbst in den rituellen Handlungen des Mörders spielt, noch welches Entsetzen ihn mit der Enthüllung von dessen Identität erwartet. Tief im Innern weiß Wallander, daß es eine Verbindung zwischen der Selbstverbrennung des jungen Mädchens und einer kranken Täterseele gibt. - Ein atemberaubendes Psychogramm unserer Gesellschaft."
  • "Inspector Kurt Wallander searches for the connection between the murder of a former minister of justice and the death of a young woman."@en
  • "Midsummer approaches, and Wallander prepares for a holiday with the new woman in his life, hopeful that his wayward daughter and his ageing father will cope without him. But his summer is ruined when a girl commits suicide before his eyes, and a former minister of justice is butchered in the first of a series of apparently motiveless murders."@en
  • "Sommer 1994, der wärmste Sommer seit Jahren. Die Schweden sitzen vor dem Fernseher, um die Fussball-WM zu verfolgen, und Kommissar Wallander in Ystad macht Ferienpläne. Da ruft ihn ein verstörter Bauer um Hilfe, dem auf einem seiner Felder das merkwürdige Verhalten eines jungen Mädchens aufgefallen ist. Als Wallander eintrifft, legt das Mädchen Feuer an sich und verbrennt sich vor seinen Augen. Kurz darauf schlägt ein Serienkiller mit einer Reihe brutaler Morde zu. Wallander steht vor seinen kompliziertesten Ermittlungen. 'Die falsche Fährte' ist ein unerhört spannender Roman voll emotionaler Kraft, eine literarische Ermittlung, die mitten ins Herz unserer Gesellschaft zielt. ''Die falsche Fährte' verbindet die Gesetze des harten Action-Thrillers mit psychologischer Raffinesse. Gnadenlos spannend.' (Brigitte)."
  • "Inspector Kurt Wallander's long-anticipated vacation plans are interrupted by two horrific deaths: the self-immolation of an unidentified young woman and the brutal murder of the former minister of justice. As the police struggle to piece together the few clues they have, the killer strikes again and again. What connection is there between a retired minister of justice, a successful art dealer, and a common petty thief? Why does the killer scalp his victims? And could there be some connection between the young woman's death and the murders."
  • ""La police d'Ystad, menée par Kurt Wallander, entame une course haletante contre la montre pour arrêter un tueur avant qu'il ne frappe à nouveau. Mais quel lien y-a-t-il entre les victimes, un ancien ministre à la retraite, un riche marchand d'art, et un minable truand?"
  • "Midsummer approaches, and Inspector Kurt Wallander prepares for a holiday with the new woman in his life, hopeful that his wayward daughter and his ageing father will cope without him. But his restful summer plans are thrown into disarray when a teenage girl commits suicide before his eyes, and a former minister of justice is butchered in the first of a series of apparently motiveless murders. Wallander's desperate hunt for the girl's identity and his furious pursuit of a killer who scalps his victims will throw him and those he loves most into mortal danger. This title is the winner of the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger."@en
