Description
The Troubled Man is the last gripping instalment in Henning Mankell's bestselling Wallander series, offering an intense mix of suspense, mystery, and personal reflection.
Every morning, Håkan von Enke takes his routine walk in the forest near his apartment in Stockholm. But one day, he mysteriously fails to return home. Although Detective Kurt Wallander is not involved officially in the case, Håkan's son is engaged to Wallander's daughter, Linda, drawing him into the crisis.
A few months prior, Håkan was eager to discuss with Kurt a controversial incident from his past, a topic that seemed to be troubling him deeply. Could this unresolved matter be connected to his sudden disappearance? Wallander's curiosity—and familial connection—compel him to investigate.
The situation takes a darker turn when Håkan's wife also goes missing. Determined to uncover the truth, Wallander delves into the investigation, which forces him to confront unsettling aspects of his own past. The pursuit of answers leads him to realise that even those closest to us might conceal unknown facets of their lives.
The Troubled Man not only delivers a complex and thrilling mystery, but also brings readers on an emotional journey with Wallander as he reconciles his professional drive with personal revelations. It is a poignant conclusion to the Wallander series, highlighting Mankell's mastery in crafting compelling crime fiction imbued with human vulnerability and introspection.

About the Author
Henning Mankell (1948-2015) became a worldwide phenomenon with his crime writing, gripping thrillers and atmospheric novels set in Africa. His prizewinning and critically acclaimed Inspector Wallander Mysteries continue to dominate bestseller lists all over the globe and his books have been translated into forty-five languages and made into numerous international film and television adaptations- most recently the BAFTA-award-winning BBC television series Wallander, starring Kenneth Branagh. Driven by a desire to change the world and to fight against racism and nationalism, Mankell devoted much of his time to working with charities in Africa, including SOS Children's Villages and PLAN International, where he was also director of the Teatro Avenida in Maputo. In 2008, the University of St Andrews conferred Henning Mankell with an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters in recognition of his major contribution to literature and to the practical exercise of conscience. www.henningmankell.com
