Review:
"Razor-sharp... Mankell is, without doubt, one of the most impressive crime writers at work today" (Guardian)
"Mesmerically fascinating" (Daily Telegraph)
"A terse, gripping dissection of a broken man whose private morality is as barren as the frozen wastes that betray his destiny" (Times Literary Supplement)
"An atmospheric and chilling portrait of a disturbed mind" (Observer)
"A noirish psychological thriller, steeped in eerie premonitions and symbolism, in prose that's as cold, empty and pitiless as the landscape it describes" (Metro)
