About This Item

London: The Harvill Press, 2002. 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.

Synopsis

It is Midsummer's Eve. Three young friends meet in a wood to act out an elaborate masque. But, unknown to them, they are being watched. Each is killed by a single bullet.It is Midsummer's Eve. Three young friends meet in a wood to act out an elaborate masque. But, unknown to them, they are being watched. Each is killed by a single bullet. Soon afterwards, one of Inspector Wallander's colleagues is found murdered. Is it the same killer, and what could the connection be? In this investigation Wallander is always, tantalisingly, one step behind.
