En Suecia nadie recuerda un verano tan caluroso como el de 1994. Mientras la gente sigue con pasion los partidos finales del Campeonato Mundial de Futbol, el inspector Kurt Wallander se dispone a iniciar unas cortas vacaciones. Pero la tranquilidad de la provincia de Escania se ve truncada cuando una muchacha, posiblemente extranjera, se suicida quemandose a lo bonzo. Wallander y su equipo tratan de averiguar la identidad de la chica y los motivos de esa tragica decision; pero los sustos no han hecho mas que empezar, pues un brutal asesino en serie ha comenzado su macabra actividad. Las primeras victimas son un antiguo ministro de Justicia, un adinerado tratante de arte y un ladronzuelo de poca monta. Sin que pueda sospecharlo, la pista a la que Wallander se aferra para detener esta carniceria le conducira a las altas esferas de la politica, y pondra seriamente en peligro su vida y la de sus allegados. / In the award-winning Sidetracked, Kurt Wallander is called to a nearby rapeseed field where a teenage girl has been loitering all day long. He arrives just in time to watch her douse herself in gasoline and set herself aflame. The next day he is called to a beach where Swedens former Minister of Justice has been axed to death and scalped. The murder has the obvious markings of a demented serial killer, and Wallander is frantic to find him before he strikes again. But his investigation is beset with a handful of obstaclesa department distracted by the threat of impending cutbacks and the frivolity of World Cup soccer, a tenuous long-distance relationship with a murdered policemans widow, and the unshakably haunting preoccupation with the young girl who set herself on fire. Fascinating and astute, Sidetracked is a compelling mystery enhanced by keen social awareness.
