Both for fans* of Inspector Kurt Wallander and a fascinating introduction to those new to this character. These 5 short stories - by filling in the gaps from the beginnings of his career and chronicling some interesting cases - uncover the reasons that led to his divorce with Mona as well as what lay behind his difficulties with his father (an incredible trip to Egypt). It's an essential!
*Editor's note: And there will soon be millions more as Kenneth Branagh is starring in a new BBC series based on this character.
