One Step Behind by Henning Mankell
It is Midsummer's Eve. Three young friends meet in a wood to act out an elaborate masque. But, unknown to them, they are being watched. Each is killed by a single bullet. Soon afterwards, one of Inspector Wallander's colleagues is found murdered. Is it the same killer, and what could the connection be? In this investigation Wallander is always, tantalisingly, one step behind.
"Wallander is among the very best fictional crimebusters" Daily Telegraph "Mankell is in the first division of crime writing" The Times "Mankell could turn you to crime" Daily Telegraph "The real test of thrillers of this kind is whether you want to spend more time in the detective's companyI certainly do" -- Sean French Independent "Wallander's investigations are perfectly judged to create a thrilling mood of growing tension culminating in a satisfying climax" The Times
