Absorbing, chilling and dripping with evil atmosphere
Absorbing, chilling and dripping with evil atmosphere * The Times *
Mankell is the master of the slow burn, and The Return of the Dancing Master makes us crave more of his misty, haunted atmosphere * Independent *
A worthy successor to the Wallander whodunnits * Sunday Telegraph *
The new cast is introduced with customary brilliance, and the political edge suggests a fine new direction from this immense talent * Scotland on Sunday *
Compelling…there’s no one better at the genre… His characters are his greatest invention * San Francisco Chronicle *
About The Author
Henning Mankell
Henning Mankell (1948-2015) became a worldwide phenomenon with his crime writing, gripping thrillers and atmospheric novels set in Africa. His prizewinning and critically acclaimed Inspector Wallander Mysteries continue to dominate bestseller lists all over the globe and his books have been translated into forty-five languages and made into numerous international film and television adaptations- most recently the BAFTA-award-winning BBC television series Wallander, starring Kenneth Branagh.
Driven by a desire to change the world and to fight against racism and nationalism, Mankell devoted much of his time to working with charities in Africa, including SOS Children’s Villages and PLAN International, where he was also director of the Teatro Avenida in Maputo. In 2008, the University of St Andrews conferred Henning Mankell with an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters in recognition of his major contribution to literature and to the practical exercise of conscience.
