Kurt Wallander series, sixth.
Four nuns and an unnamed fifth lady are brutally killed in an African convent; the local police cover up the unidentified woman's death. Inspector Kurt Wallander is horrified and perplexed by two killings in Sweden a year later. A missing florist's corpse is found, strangled and hanged to a tree, and retired auto salesman and bird watcher Holger Eriksson is impaled on sharpened bamboo poles in a ditch outside his remote house. Wallander's only leads are a snapshot of three guys, a journal, and a skull. The investigation that follows will put Wallander's fortitude and endurance to the test since, in addition to figuring out the motive behind these killings, he must also figure out the illusive link between these deaths and the fifth woman's previous, unsolved murder in Africa.
