New Henning Mankell novel [View all]

For those of you who like Scandinavian mysteries, Henning Mankell, author of the Kurt Wallander series, has come out with a new one. It's called "An Event in Autumn." Here's the plot thingy, from the Barnes and Noble website:

After nearly thirty years in the same job, Inspector Kurt Wallander is tired, restless, and itching to make a change. He is taken with a certain old farmhouse, perfectly situated in a quiet countryside with a charming, overgrown garden. There he finds the skeletal hand of a corpse in a shallow grave. Wallander’s investigation takes him deep into the history of the house and the land, until finally the shocking truth about a long-buried secret is brought to light.


Wow! I like this series, I've read all of it that's come out in the U.S. except for the last one ('The Troubled Man,' which I still haven't finished yet). I am going to the store later on to see if they have it.
