Return of the Dancing Master - Henning Mankell - translated from Swedish, first published in English in 2003.
This is a stand alone novel about the detective Stefan Lindman, who is a colleague of Kurt Wallander but he doesn't feature in this story. If you have watched the Swedish verion of Wallander on the television, don't expect Stefan in the book to resemble the character in the TV series. Stefan is on sick leave when he hears that a former police colleague has been murdered. He decides to investigate himself. He uncovers a dark side to Swedish society - Neo Nazism. Not the greatest plot or my favourite Henning Mankell novel but a well written story. 6/10
