First U.K. edition. First published in Sweden in 2009. Translated from the Swedish by Laurie Thompson. Every morning Hakan von Enke takes a walk in the forest near his apartment in Stockholm. However, one winter's day he fails to return. It appears that the retired naval officer has vanished without trace. Detective Kurt Wallander is not officially involved in the investigation but he has personal reasons for his interest in the case as Hakan's son is engaged to his daughter Linda. A few months earlier, at Hakan's 75th birthday party, Kurt noticed that the old man appeared uneasy and seemed eager to talk about a controversial incident from his past career that remained shrouded in mystery. Could this be connected to his disappearance? When Hakan's wife Louise also disappears, Wallander is determined to uncover the truth.
