Depths by Henning Mankell
Do you believe in love at first phone call? Cohen Rodriguez, Deo's hilarious, ber responsible best friend in Lengths, got dumped by his longtime girl because he's not impulsive enough, and he's burned up. But maybe, just maybe, she's more right than he wants to admit. So he starts to date. A lot. But no one really feels like the one. And the more girls he dates, the more Cohen's convinced she isn't really out there. Luckily he has Maren-the girl with the sexy voice who always cracks the best jokes. They've been talking daily for a year . . . on the phone. What started as all work soon blooms into friendship. Then she asks him. Do you want to meet? He's scared out of his mind to ruin the one easy, fun relationship he has going for him. But he takes the plunge, and things are just fine, totally easy and comfortable. Except that they both sense that it's not strictly platonic. There's an undeniable attraction and absolute raw chemistry between them . . . and every time they're in the same room, that attraction gets deeper and harder to ignore. Maren could be the best thing that's ever happened to Cohen. Or she could send his carefully compartmentalized life into a tailspin. Cohen has to decide if he's ready to let go of his comfortable fantasy and embrace the one girl who might be able to change his luck in love.

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 were bestsellers all over the globe and his books have been translated into forty-five languages and made into numerous international film and television adaptations, including 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.
