Todo el mundo tiene un pasado. Wallander, como se nos explica en este libro de la serie, se remonta a veinte años atrás, cuando ni siquiera había entrado en Homicidios y era un joven agente despierto, lleno de ambiciones profesionales y con una vida privada que, ya entonces, hacía agua por todas partes. Los cinco relatos incluidos en La pirámide abarcan desde 1969 a 1989, justo antes del comienzo de la primera novela de la serie. En el primero de los relatos, un inexperto Wallander, con apenas veintiún años, se entromete en un aparente caso de suicidio y termina en el hospital con una cuchillada. En el segundo, es secuestrado por un exiliado sudafricano que acaba de cometer un asesinato. Y en el último tiene que rescatar a su padre de una comisaría de El Cairo, interrumpiendo una investigación doble sobre una misteriosa avioneta que se ha estrellado en la costa y sobre dos hermanas ancianas que han aparecido calcinadas y con disparos en la cabeza. Es éste un Wallander antes de Wallander: el lector de la serie encontrará aquí claves desconocidas hasta ahora del pasado del inspector, y el que no lo conozca está de enhorabuena: no podría tener mejor manera de introducirse en su mundo.
Een wrede martelmoord plaatst inspecteur Carl Edson van de politie in Stockholm voor grote problemen.
THE FIRST IN THE MILLION-SELLING DCI EWERT GRENS SERIES, WINNER OF THE GLASS KEY 2005 FOR BEST SCANDINAVIAN CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR, AND AS HARD-HITTING A CRIME NOVEL AS YOU WILL EVER READ. 'A must read' Observer Bernt Lund harbours a sickness. He is a monster: in the mind of society, in the mind of his nine-year-old victims' parents, and in the mind of his fellow inmates. Lennart Oscarsson has a situation. The worst scenario imaginable for Aspsås prison's Department for Sexual Crimes. These two men's actions are about to hand DCI Ewert Grens the most profoundly sickening and impossibly sensitive case of his career, and in Stockholm's history. Pen 33 is both an unforgiving collision between a time-hardened policeman and a truly heinous crime, and an unflinching exploration of what people - whether criminals or victims - are capable of when they choose to relinquish self-control. Loved Pen 33 and hungry for another DCI Ewert Grens thriller? If so, choose the next novel in the series, Box 21 . . .
The untapped natural resources of Sweden's far north are sparking a gold rush, with the criminal underworld leading the charge. But it's not the prospect of riches that brings Lisbeth Salander to the small town of Gasskas. Her niece's mother is the latest woman in the region to have vanished without trace. Two things soon become clear: Svala is a remarkably gifted teenager -- and she's being watched. Journalist Mikael Blomkvist is also heading north. He has seen better days. Millennium magazine is in its final print issue, and relations with his daughter are strained. Worse still, there are troubling rumours surrounding the man she's about to marry. When the truth behind the whispers explodes into violence, Salander emerges as Blomkvist's last hope.[Bokinfo].
