The police are no closer to solving the case as they were days ago.įaceless Killers was a pleasant surprise to read. There is a xenophobic vigilante who takes matters into his own hands and threaten to kill a foreigner if the police does not find the killers of Johannes and Maria Lovgren. There has been a series of attacks targeting illegal immigrants kept at camps throughout Sweden. The only word she was able to whisper was 'foreign' and it is creating a problem at the local police department. Before Maria Lovgren died, she was asked who did this to her. In the farming town of Lenarp, there has been a brutal assault against an elderly couple. Faceless Killers is the first book in the series and it is very good. Henning Mankell is a respected writer who has written several plays and has written six police procedural novels featuring Ystad police inspector Kurt Wallander. Sweden has provided several great Swedish writers whose works are slowly being introduced to English-speaking audiences. It is nice to know that there are good mystery novels published in other countries where English is not its native language.
