I'm reading Henning Mankell again, this time his novel, The Troubled Man. The novel features Wallander, who tracks a former high navy officer who mysteriously disappeared, and his wife was found dead, and murder is suspected. The question is, was this naval officer an agent for the U.S.S.R.? Was his wife? Shades of the Wennerstrom affair...
The blurb in Amazon sets out the plot:
A retired navy officer has vanished in a forest near Stockholm. Kurt Wallander is prepared to stay out of the relatively straightforward investigation—which is, after all, another detective’s responsibility—but the missing man is his daughter’s father-in-law.
