Kurt Wallander’s life looks like it has taken a turn for the better when his offer on a new house is accepted, only for him to uncover something unexpected in the garden – the skeleton of a middle-aged woman.

As police officers comb the property, Wallander attempts to get his new life back on course by finding the woman’s killer with the aid of his daughter, Linda. But when another discovery is made in the garden, Wallander is forced to delve further back into the area's past.

A treat for fans and new readers alike, this is a never before published Kurt Wallander novella

Wallander is among the very best fictional crimebusters
The real test of thrillers of this kind is whether you want to spend time in the detective's company. I certainly do (Sean French)

I was really sad after finishing the entire Wallander series, but was delighted to find this short book as a surprise bonus. It's a simple story, does not have the layers and layers of a usual Wallander mystery, but deeply satisfying nonetheless. Now I plan to start the series from the beginning again.
