The pyramid - Henning Mankell

The missing piece of the internationally bestselling Kurt Wallander mystery series:
the story of Kurt Wallander's beginnings. The mystery thriller series that inspired the Netflix crime drama Young Wallander

Revealing a side of Wallander that we
have never seen, the long stories collected in The Pyramid are vintage Mankell. Here,
we see Wallander on his homicide first case as a twenty-one-year-old patrolman, as
a young father facing unexpected danger on Christmas Eve, as a middle-aged detective
with his marriage on the brink, as a newly separated investigator solving the brutal
murder of a local photographer, and finally as a veteran detective, with his signature
methodical and instinctive work style, discovering unexpected connections between
a downed plane and the assassination of a pair of spinster sisters.

In these five
riveting tales we watch Kurt Wallander come into his own not only as a detective
but as a human being
