Description: Henning Mankell (1948 - 5 October 2015) was an award winning Swedish author, dramatist and activist, best known for his crime novels featuring Inspector Kurt Wallander, which were adapted into hugely successful TV series in both Swedish and English, the latter featuring Sir Kenneth Branagh in the lead role. This was the first novel to feature Kurt Wallander, originally published in Swedish in 1991 as 'Mördare utan ansikte'. "Faceless Killers", an uncorrected proof released by The Harvill Press, London ahead of planned publication date of 6 April 2000. Large paperback, 280 pages. Translated from the Swedish by Steven T Murray. In overall very good+ condition, no inscriptions, appears to be unread as no creasing to spine, minor edge/storage wear, slight rippling to laminated wrapper covering to front right hand side, 'Not for sale' at rear wrapper obscured by black felt pen mark. An uncommon proof copy. " One frozen January morning at 5am, Inspector Wallander responds to what he believes is a routine call out. When he reaches the isolated farmhouse he discovers a bloodbath. An old man has been tortured and beaten to death, his wife lies barely alive beside his shattered body, both victims of a violence beyond reason. The woman supplies Wallander with his only clue: the perpetrators may have been foreign. When this is leaked to the press, it unleashes a tide of racism. Wallander's life is a shambles. His wife has left him, his daughter refuses to speak to him, and even his ageing father barely tolerates him. He works tirelessly, eats badly, and drinks his nights away. But now Wallander must forget his troubles and throw himself into a battle against time and against mounting racial hatred.
