Si tratta di un'indagine con excursus nell'alta finanza svedese, la quale non ha l'onore di differire da tutte quelle di altre nazioni. Come si dice da noi: il più pulito ha la rogna. E oramai la realtà degli ultimi anni ci ha permesso di toglierci almeno un pregiudizio, vale a dire che oggi abbiamo la conferma e oramai é un fatto che: "non é possibile che uno abbia fatto tutti quei soldi in maniera onesta". Non é possibile no. Alcune pagine di troppo forse, una diluizione dei concetti non strettamente necessaria, ma altrimenti come al solito ottimo giallone nordico da serate di stanca neuronale.

 When Henning Mankell, the most famous Swedish writer since Strindberg, published the first Kurt Wallander mystery 14 years ago, he could not have imagined how successful they would be. In Sweden the series triumphed overnight; worldwide it has sold in excess of 20 million copies. British readers were slow to catch up.The Man Who Smiled is the fourth Kurt Wallander book, originally published in Sweden in 1994. It opens with a road accident in thick fog in which a solicitor crashes his car and dies.Questions of responsibility and morality, of justice and democracy are explicitly raised, which is unusual in detective fiction.Wallander, a sternly pensive slogger who eats junk food, is one of the most credible creations in contemporary crime fiction, and The Man Who Smiled is vintage Nordic storytelling.  Doch dieser mit großen plakativen Pinselstrichen angelegte Fall will nicht recht überzeugen, weil Autor Henning Mankell zwischen den Zeilen allzu stark moralisiert und in der Harderberg-Figur einen geradezu dämonisch wirkenden menschenverachtenden Kapitalisten als überdimensionales Feindbild installiert.

HTML:The #1 international-bestselling tale of greed, violence, and corporate power from the master of Scandinavian noir: "One of his best" (The Times, London). After killing a man in the line of duty, Inspector Kurt Wallander finds himself deep in a personal and professional crisis; during more than a year of sick leave, he turns to drink and vice to quiet his lingering demons. Once he pulls himself together, he vows to quit the Ystad police force for goodjust before a friend who had asked Wallander to look into the death of his father winds up dead himself, shot three times. Far from leaving police work behind, Wallander instead must investigate a formidable suspect: a powerful business tycoon at the helm of a multinational company engaged in extralegal activities. Ann-Britt Hglund, the department's first female detective, proves to be Wallander's best ally as he tries to pierce the smiling faade of the suspicious mogul. But just as he comes close to uncovering the truth, Wallander finds his own life being threatened.
