Reviews
"This is hands down the best thriller I've read in five years. Grade: A . . . Complex and enormously satisfying." -Entertainment Weekly "The book cements Mankell's reputation as Sweden's greatest living mystery writer . . . Roslin is a sort of Nordic Miss Marple." -Los Angeles Times "Mankell succeeds in transfixing the reader with a masterly balance of character sketches and pell-mell storytelling. He is entirely convincing in his depiction of ordinary people becoming enmeshed in geopolitical intrigue." -Wall Street Journal "Mankell's new book is an original but still chock-a-block with gory crime combined with hints of the late Stieg Larsson's social concern and John le CarrÉ's international intrigue." -Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "A must-read for anyone interested in the international crime novel." -Booklist "Over the past decade or so, Henning Mankell has built a large audience that, even now, in the (mostly) snowless U.S., can't wait to find copies of his new snowbound work of mystery.The Man from Beijingmore than repays such patience. It's a terrific police procedural . . . Despite the broad reach of the plot, the book never puts the reader in danger of losing interest." -Alan Cheuse,Dallas Morning News "The Man from Beijing,though not a Wallander novel, is the equal to any in that series. It's the work of a writer with the imagination, brains, resources, and joinerly craft needed to make thoughtful, challenging, exciting, artistic novels . . . Remarkable." -Philadelphia Inquirer "Scandinavian crime writing has seldom shouldered the burdens of world history with such upfront ambition." -Independent(UK) "Breathtakingly bold in its scope." -Kirkus Reviews "Gripping . . . It is the disruption, the threat and the delicious chill of fear, all safely contained, that is the pleasure of this book." -Observer(UK) "With this overwhelming thriller, Mankell has perhaps presented us with his best book ever." -Westdeutsche Allgemeine(Germany) "Mankell's best thriller in fifteen years." -Svenska Dagbladet(Sweden) "A fantastic book . . . The book of the year so far . . . Whether you read it as a suspense novel, a thriller, or as commentary on the world of today with roots more than 150 years back, it is fascinating." -Kulturspeilet(Norway) "[The Man from Beijing]conquers the world." -BorÅs Tidning(Sweden) "Mankell shows us once again that he is the absolute master of his class." -Kulturbase(Germany) "There is no doubt that Mankell with this blockbuster of a thriller has written one of his best books . . . Suspense until the last page, audacious storytelling, and two female main characters presented with care and compassion." -Dagsavisen(Norway) "Explosive." -Leben & Glauben(Germany) , "A sweepingly ambitious tale of corruption, injustice and revenge that ranges over three continents and 140 years . . . Breathtakingly bold in its scope." -Kirkus Reviews Reviews from abroad: "With this overwhelming thriller, Mankell has perhaps presented us with his best book ever." -Westdeutsche Allgemeine(Germany) "Mankell's best thriller in fifteen years." -Svenska Dagbladet(Sweden) "A fantastic book . . . The book of the year so far . . . Whether you read it as a suspense novel, a thriller, or as commentary on the world of today with roots more than 150 years back, it is fascinating." -Kulturspeilet(Norway) "Mankell continues as one of the kings of the noir novel." -El Mundo(Spain) "[The Man from Beijing]conquers the world." -BorÅs Tidning(Sweden) "An exceptionally good read that is hard to put down . . . Mankell is a very skilled author who can use the thriller frame toward a higher cause without letting go of the suspense or narrative drive . . . Probably his most brilliant sinceThe Dogs of Riga." -Politiken(Denmark) "Mankell shows us once again that he is the absolute master of his class." -Kulturbase(Germany) "Original and unusual . . . The first novel to take up the present question of globalization." -El Correo EspaÑol(Spain) "There is no doubt that Mankell with this blockbuster of a thriller has written one of his best books . . . Suspense until the last page, audacious storytelling, and two female main characters presented with care and compassion." -Dagsavisen(Norway) "Explosive." -Leben & Glauben(Germany) "This is an extremely important book that convincingly deals with the situation in the world today and tomorrow." -Ystads Allehanda(Sweden) "Not a typical crime novel . . . Powerful and exciting." -Berner Zeitung(Switzerland) , "This is hands down the best thriller I've read in five years. Grade: A . . .

Synopsis
The acclaimed author of the Kurt Wallander mysteries now gives us an electrifying stand-alone thriller that takes off into a sweeping international drama. January 2006. In the Swedish hamlet of Hesjovallen, nineteen people have been massacred. The only clue is a red ribbon found at the scene. Judge Birgitta Roslin has particular reason to be shocked: her grandparents, the Andrens, are among the victims. The police insist that only a lunatic could have committed the murders. But when Birgitta discovers the diary of another Andren--a gang master on the American transcontinental railway in the nineteenth century--that describes the cruel treatment of Chinese slave-workers, she is determined to uncover what she suspects is a more complicated truth. The investigation leads to modern-day Beijing and its highest echelons of power, to Zimbabwe and Mozambique. But the narrative also takes us back 150 years, into a history that will ensnare Birgitta as she draws ever closer to solving the Hesjovallen murders. This is Henning Mankell at the height of his powers.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
