It is a larger force, and he works his way up to detective there. When he meets and marries his wife Mona, she insists they must find a safer place to live and raise their daughter, Linda. Kurt and Mona choose Ystad, while safer, offers few opportunities for promotion, and will limit his career. Kurt is as complicated a person as any of us, thoughtful, highly stressed in his position as detective, his life always at loose ends. He takes his work very seriously, becoming obsessively absorbed in the murder of the moment, such that he fails to take proper care of himself, relationships with family and friends suffer, and over the course of the books, his life suffers as a result.
He is unmoored, living from case to case, trying to pick up his life in between. He vows repeatedly to change his ways, eat better, drink less, move out of the city into a home in the countryside near the water, get a dog, find someone to share this better life—maybe even leave detective work entirely. He fails to make any of these changes until nearly the end of the series, when poor health and age force these changes upon him.
Interestingly, Kurt is much more intuition-driven as a detective. Second in the Kurt Wallander series. Sweden, winter… More. Shelve The Dogs of Riga. Book 3. The White Lioness by Henning Mankell. The execution-style murder of a Swedish housewife … More.
