Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Troubled Man (Swedish: Den orolige mannen) is a crime fiction novel by Swedish author Henning Mankell, featuring police inspector Kurt Wallander. Mankell has announced that it is the final Wallander novel. A highly-decorated Swedish navy officer, Håkan von Enke, disappears during his daily walk. For Kurt Wallander this becomes a very personal case as Von Enke is Linda Wallander's father-in-law. The clues lead back in time to the Cold War, right-wing extremists and hired killers from Eastern Europe. Inspector Wallander suspects he has traced a big secret. This could be the worst spy scandal in Swedish history. At the same time, evidence suggests that Wallander is losing his memory. Henning Mankell had originally planned to write no more Wallander stories after the publication of the short story collection The Pyramid (Pyramiden) in 1999. In 2002, he released Before the Frost (Innan frosten), a novel that shifted the focus of the stories to Wallander's daughter Linda, who joins the police force. Mankell planned more novels focusing on Linda's police career but subsequently abandoned them after the death of Johanna Sällström, the actress who portrayed Linda in the Swedish Wallander TV series. Several years passed before Mankell decided there was one more Kurt Wallander story to tell.

I have read all of the "Kurt Wallander" series by Henning Mankell. I would rate them all very high and I enjoyed every one of them. Mankell's writing style is so smooth and easy. The reader is quickly drawn into Kurt Wallander's life and of course the struggle to solve the crime in the story. The plot lines are more clever than most other books of this type with many twists and complications. Many characters in the series return but it's not necessary to read the books in the order in which they were written.
I would suggest that everyone read even just one of the books in the series and you will be hooked.

What are some of our thoughts as we age? Henning Mankell, speaking through Kurt Wallander has perceptive thougts about nearing the end of one's life which I found compelling. Lonliness will eat you up, Wallender says. The intrigue of the story was for me forgettable, but Mankell's incites, not.
