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 seller went on vacation & sent it to me after returning from vacation. I have been more than patient. When I received it, disappointed is an understatement. It is NOT the Lands End DOWN vest I purchased. It is NOT the style I purchased. It is NOT a DOWN vest. It is made from recycled bottles! I do not wear recycled plastic bottle clothing. Hence I am returning this. All I wanted was the Lands End Chevron style down vest.Lands End Womens Down Red Vest NWT MEDIUM (Nr. 263966748613)
