Guardian Bookshop Notes:

With worldwide sales of over 16 million, Mankell is the master of the psychological thriller. This new tense and compelling novel centres on a naval engineer who discovers a young woman on a barren skerry in 1914. Translated by Laurie Thompson. 'The fog-bound islands off the Stockholm coast are beautifully evoked... Questions of morality in politics... are explicitly raised' "Sunday Telegraph"

Publisher's description:

October 1914: the destroyer Svea emerged from the Stockholm archipelago bearing south-south-east. On board was Lars Tobiasson-Svartman, a naval engineer charged with making depth soundings to find a navigable channel for the Swedish navy. His instinct for his profession is reflected in the comfortable domesticity he enjoys with his wife.
