Henning Mankell: One Step Behind

IT'S MIDSUMMER'S EVE.
Three young friends meet in a
wood to act out an elaborate
masque. Unknown to them
they are being watched.
All three are murdered.

Soon afterwards one of Kurt's
colleagues is found murdered.
Is this the same killer and
what could the connection be?

In this investigation, Wallander
is always, tantalisingly,
ONE STEP BEHIND

'Mankell is a master of the genre…This sophisticated storytelling gives
One Step Behind a bravura density that makes you very glad that there are four
more Kurt Wallander novels sitting on a shelf just waiting to be
translated for the delight of British readers' Sarah Crompton,
Daily Telegraph

'The investigation is twisting, thoughtful and beguiling: the book is worth the wait'
Peter Gutteridge,
Observer

'…reads like a dream with a cast of believable characters, an edge-of-the-seat plot and mountains of local colour. You can almost taste the herring.'
Jim Driver, Time Out

'Satisfying in a way that has less to do with the wonders of forensic science than with the pure pleasure of rational thought'
The New York Times

'Finishing this…I immediately wanted to read the rest…If Harvill does not publish the rest, I will seriously consider learning Swedish'
Scotland on Sunday
