      The internationally acclaimed crime writer introduces a new, young heroine with a familiar father. Linda Wallander is bored. Just graduated from the police academy, she is waiting to start work at the Ystad police station and move into her own apartment. Meantime, she is living 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, whom she will have to work alongside. Linda's boredom doesn't last long. Soon she is embroiled in the case of her childhood friend Anna, who has inexplicably disappeared. As the investigation proceeds, she makes a few rookie mistakes. They are understandable, but they are also life-threatening. And as the case her father is working on dovetails with her own, something far more calculated and dangerous than either could have imagined begins to emerge. Already an international bestseller, Before the Frost inaugurates Henning Mankell's new mystery series about Linda Wallander, and also features Stefan Lindman of The Return of the Dancing Master.

      Detective Wallander is haunted by the spectre of a murder he was unable to prevent as a young policeman. Years after the event, the daughter of the murder victim, now a heroin addict, dies of an overdose. A distressed Wallander is assigned to investigate the crash of a light airplane and a detonated armour piercing shell is found in the wreckage. A few days later, two elderly sisters are killed in an explosion in a sewing supplies shop. Traces of an advanced explosive are found in the burnt-out shop and evidence soon mounts to indicate that both events are tied to a showdown between two rival narcotics gangs.

      Dag Lundmark war Leiter der rasch und effektiv durchgeführten Razzia. Winston Modisane musste dabei sterben – aber war der Tod des Südafrikaners wirklich unvermeidlich? In »Rosenrot« ermitteln Paul Hjelm und Kerstin Holm in einem Fall, der mehr mit ihnen selbst zu tun hat, als sie wahrhaben wollen … Vier mysteriöse Buchstaben, P-U-C-K, und vier Opfer, die scheinbar nur eines miteinander verbindet – eine kaum sichtbare Tätowierung. In »Ungeschoren« beschert uns Arne Dahl einen rasanten Fall mit einem furiosen Finale.
