Arrived from Better World Books yesterday.

Another of Mankell's journeys to other countries, other fields.

Louise Cantor, archaeologist, discovers her grown son dead in his apartment. She does not believe it was suicide. Her persistence leads her - and detective Kurt Wallander - into shady areas on other continents. A rich man selflessly helping poor Africans with AIDS - or is it something different? Louise risks her own life to find out what happened to her son.

Wallander discovers a connection of sorts to the missing brain of John F. Kennedy, the stuff of conspiracy theories.

Mankell is always ready to seek out those dark underbellies.
