• The Dogs of Riga

• By: Henning Mankell
• Narrated by: Dick Hill

On the Swedish coast, the bodies of two victims of brutal torture and cold execution were discovered on a life raft. With no witnesses, no motive, and no crime scene, Detective Kurt Wallander feels frustrated and unsure if he is capable of solving a case that is both mysterious and heinous. After the victims traced their way to the Baltic country of Latvia, a country heavily affected by the breakup of the Soviet Union, Major Liepa of the Riga police took over the investigation.
Thinking his job is done, Wallander returns to his usual routine, until he is suddenly called to Riga and falls into an alien world – in which darkness is everywhere, everything is tracked and the old regimes will do anything to survive.

Imperfect, self deprecating, yet true to his principles and on an investigation on foreign soil. A wonderful who-done-it.
