Mankell, a master of the crime fiction genre called "Nordic Noir," created one of the most popular fictional characters of all time: the Swedish police detective Kurt Wallender, hero of a series of police procedural books. <More about these books.>
Mankell was one of my favorite writers and he gave me many many hours of reading and viewing pleasure. I'll miss him.
