Literary awards - Barry Award Nominee for Best Novel (2012)

Henning Mankell's famed detective, Kurt Wallander, makes his long-awaited comeback in Troubled Man. When a former high-ranking naval officer, Håkan von Enke, disappears on a winter stroll near Stockholm, the police launch a thorough investigation. Although officially not within Wallander's jurisdiction, he can't help but get involved as the missing man is his daughter's future father-in-law. Acting outside normal protocol, Wallander's interference yields unexpected results that reveal Cold War-era espionage. Meanwhile, Wallander struggles with his own personal demons - fearful of senility at 60 and driven by the desire to be a worthy grandfather, he must confront his past and uncertain future. In this latest installment of the Kurt Wallander series, the renowned detective will face his greatest opponent yet: himself.
