![]() ![]() ![]() Why did I wake now? He listens to the darkness and suddenly he is wide awake. He checks the clock on the table next to the bed. Daybreak will reveal that one of us has been left all alone. One of these mornings she'll be lying dead beside me and I won't even notice, he thinks. His wife's breathing at his side is so faint that he can scarcely hear it. He lies still in the darkness and listens. Then I would have been hot and sweaty, as if I had suffered through a fever during the night. A well that reveals nothing of its contents.Īt least I didn't dream about the bulls, he thinks. He has forgotten something, he knows that for sure when he wakes up.

He devotes much of his time to working with Aids charities in Africa, where he is also director of the Teatro Avenida in Maputo. Henning Mankell is the prize-winning and internationally acclaimed author of the Inspector Wallander Mysteries, now dominating bestseller lists throughout Europe. He quickly becomes obsessed with solving the crime before the already tense situation explodes, but soon comes to realize that it will require all his reserves of energy and dedication to solve.
