Book excerpt: World famous for his Kurt Wallander mysteries, Henning Mankell has been published in 35 countries, with more than 25 million copies of his books in print. “Nelio is dead. And however unlikely it may sound, it seemed to me that he died without once being afraid. How can that be possible?” —from Chronicler of the Winds In Chronicler of the Winds, Mankell gives us something different: a beautifully crafted novel that is a testament to the power of storytelling itself. On the rooftop of a theatre in an African port, a ten-year-old boy lies, slowly dying of bullet wounds. He is Nelio, a leader of street kids, rumoured to be a healer and a prophet, and possessed of a strangely ancient wisdom. One of the millions of poor people “forced to eat life raw,” Nelio tells his unforgettable story over the course of nine nights. After bandits cruelly raze his village, he joins the legions of abandoned children living in the city’s streets. An act of the imagination, an effort to prove to his comrades that life must be more than mere survival, cuts short Nelio’s life. Henning Mankell’s Chronicler of the Winds is a dazzling new venture from the master of crime; a beautifully told fable of the African continent.

Book Synopsis Before the Frost by : Henning Mankell

Download or read book Before the Frost written by Henning Mankell. This book was released on 2005-02-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International bestseller: Kurt Wallander and his daughter join forces to hunt for a ritual killer in this “gripping, beautifully orchestrated” mystery (The New York Times Book Review). Linda Wallander is bored. Having just graduated from the police academy, she’s waiting to start work with the Ystad police and move into her own apartment. In the meantime, she’s staying with her father and, like fathers and daughters everywhere, they are driving each other crazy. Nor will they be able to escape each other when she moves out. Her father is Inspector Kurt Wallander, a veteran of the Ystad police force, and the two of them are about to find themselves working a case that couldn’t be closer to home. Linda’s childhood friend Anna has disappeared. As the investigation proceeds, she makes a few rookie mistakes that are both understandable and life-threatening. But as the case her father is working on dovetails with her own, something far more dangerous, and chillingly calculated, begins to emerge. A “powerful” and “thoroughly engaging” thriller from “a master storyteller,” Before the Frost introduces an unforgettable new heroine to the acclaimed series that is the basis for the BBC television show starring Kenneth Branagh (San Francisco Chronicle).
