La vida del inspector Kurt Wallander ha cambiado ligeramente: no sólo ha hecho realidad su sueño de tener una casa en el campo, sino que, además, su hija Linda lo ha convertido en abuelo. Sin embargo, su tranquilidad se ve perturbada poco después, un día de invierno de 2008, cuando el suegro de Linda, un oficial de alto rango de la Marina sueca llamado Håkan von Enke, desaparece en un bosque cerca de Estocolmo. Aunque la investigación la dirige la policía de Estocolmo, Wallander no puede evitar implicarse, sobre todo cuando una segunda persona desaparece en misteriosas circunstancias. Algunas pistas apuntan a grupos de extrema derecha en el seno de la Marina sueca y a la época de la Guerra Fría, en particular a la década de los ochenta, cuando varios submarinos soviéticos fueron acusados de violar territorio sueco. Wallander comprende que está a punto de desvelar un gran secreto cuyo alcance abarcaría toda la historia de Suecia tras la segunda guerra mundial. Pero una nube aún más negra asoma por el horizonte. De laatste Wallander daarom een waardering met vier sterren terwijl ik het verhaal zelf misschien iets minder vond: de schoonvader van Wallander dochter, later ook de schoonmoeder, verdwijnen spoorloos, zonder enige aanleiding op het eerste gezicht. Wallander lost het op. Het verhaal gaat over marineofficieren en spionage, maar vooral over het naderend pensioen van Wallander, zijn piekeren en gezondheidsproblemen. Wallander se retrouve à démêler une sacrée histoire de famille: le détective est mené de fausse piste en fausse piste jusqu'à se retrouver dans un complot de taille. Il était tellement alambiqué qu'à force de suppositions et d'hypothèses lourdes, j'avais deviné la fin. Pire, la mystérieuse maladie de Wallander est expédiée en postface, une fin lapidaire comme si l'auteur était lassé de la situation et trop content de s'en débarrasser. Pour moi, Wallander mérite mieux. Il n'en reste pas moins que j'ai dévoré les longues pages qui m'ont gardé en haleine jusqu'au bout.
Henning Mankell has spoken: Detective Chief Inspector Kurt Wallander has solved his last case. Making this news more bitter, the alcoholic, diabetic, antisocial and perpetually dour Swedish detective is at his gloomy best in THE TROUBLED MAN... Though shivering in the winter of his discontent, Wallander will grip the reader hard. Flawed and occasionally exasperating, he is that rare thing: a true original. Wallander might be aging, but Mankell is dead on in crafting an intricate plotline equal to the skills and insight of his famous detective. This is essential for fans of the series, and it succeeds as a stand-alone in the crowded field of dark, psychological Scandinavian thrillers. INSPECTOR KURT WALLANDER made his first appearance in 1991 in Faceless Killers, pursuing the murderers of an elderly farming couple in rural Sweden. Nearly 20 years and nine books later, his creator, Henning Mankell, swears he is poised to finish him off for good.The final Wallander novel, The Troubled Man, will highlight his family even more, Mankell promises. Already acquired by British publisher Harvill Secker, and sold to ten other countries, the book opens when Håkan von Enke, a retired high-ranking naval officer, disappears during his daily morning walk in the forest near Stockholm. Von Enke is the father-in-law of Wallander's daughter Linda, who is expecting their grandchild. The story ranges back to the early 1980s, and Cold War rows when Russian submarines probed Swedish waters...But Mankell has not written a Wallander novel for ten years. The Troubled Man, published later this year in Sweden, marks his belated return to the redoubtable detective. "It's the last time," he says. "When you read it, you will understand. It doesn't mean that he dies – he doesn't die – but you will understand it's not possible to write any more about him."

I don't think I've read all the Wallender books, but I've read many of them. This was a good one. I'm also a big fan of Mankell's non-Wallender books.
Recommended.
