If you're a fan of Henning Mankell, this novel will be a complete surprise though not a disappointment in the least. Completely different from his previous books, this is still full of suspense and mystery and concerned with far deeper matters that obviously involve Hankell's life. It was a relief not to read about the constant snow and mist in his other books but harrowing to read about the suffering of Aids victims in Africa.
