Kurt Wallander is twenty one and new to the police force - and he won't let anything stand in the way of solving his first murder case

Wallander finds his neighbour dead: a revolver in his hand, and a bullet through his head.

Suspicious about the circumstances surrounding the apparently open and shut case of suicide, Wallander starts an off-the-books investigation - only to find that following his instincts is a very dangerous thing to do.

Discover the case that began Kurt Wallander's career - first published in The Pyramid, a collection of short stories featuring Wallander.

OUT NOW: An Event in Autumn - a new, never before published Wallander novella.

About the author

Henning Mankell

Henning Mankell (1948-2015) became a worldwide phenomenon with his crime writing, gripping thrillers and atmospheric novels set in Africa. His prizewinning and critically acclaimed Inspector Wallander Mysteries continue to dominate bestseller lists all over the globe and his books have been translated into forty-five languages and made into numerous international film and television adaptations: most recently the BAFTA-award-winning BBC television series Wallander, starring Kenneth Branagh.

Driven by a desire to change the world and to fight against racism and nationalism, Mankell devoted much of his time to working with charities in Africa, including SOS Children’s Villages and PLAN International, where he was also director of the Teatro Avenida in Maputo. In 2008, the University of St Andrews conferred Henning Mankell with an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters in recognition of his major contribution to literature and to the practical exercise of conscience.

Praise for Wallander's First Case

Mankell is the master of Scandinavian crime, much imitated, never bettered

Independent

The master of the long, dark night

Crime Time

Mankell is undoubtedly a skilled writer with plenty of breadth, but it’s clear that his subtleties of character, plot and pace achieve greatest expression in the Wallander series

Independent on Sunday

Wallander is among the very best fictional crimebusters
