Before the Frost by Henning Mankell
A cult leader instigates a mass suicide, killing himself and his whole flock of fanatical worshippers. But one man escapes. Deep in the woods outside Ystad, the police make an horrific discovery: a severed head, and hands locked together in the attitude of prayer. An old Bible lies at the victim's side, handwritten corrections and amendments on every page. A series of incidents including the murder of domestic animals has been taking place and Kurt Wallander fears that these events could be the prelude to attacks on humans on a much greater scale. Linda Wallander, preparing to join the Ystad police force, arrives at the station. Showing all the hallmarks of her father - the maverick approach, the flaring temper - she becomes involved in a case to take on a group of religious extremists bent on punishing the world's sinners. Before the Frost is a totally compelling and atmospheric crime story.
Henning Mankell is the prize-winning author of the eight novels in the Inspector Wallander series, now translated into many languages and consistently dominating bestseller lists in Europe. His novel Sidetracked won the CWA Gold dagger in 2001.
