What to expect
Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Fifth Woman by Henning Mankell, read by Sean Barrett.
Four nuns and a fifth woman are killed in a savage night-time attack in Africa. A year later, Inspector Kurt Wallander investigates the disappearance of an elderly birdwatcher and discovers a gruesome and meticulously planned murder - a body impaled in a trap of sharpened bamboo poles. Then, another man is reported missing.
Once again Wallander's life is put on hold as he and his team work tirelessly to find a link between the series of vicious murders.
Winner of the CWA Gold Dagger for Sidetracked.
