And Kurt Wallander slowly descended into a darkness that some years later transported him into the empty universe known as Alzheimer’s disease. As if all the colors had faded away, and all he was left with was black and white.- The shadow grew more intense. It was as if everything had fallen silent. He knew he’d seen her before, but what her name was or what she was doing in his house he had no idea. He didn’t know who the girl running towards him was. Over the course of the series Mankell developed the character of Wallander so that, with the last novel, Wallander is diagnosed with diabetes, suffers from memory lapses, and develops Alzheimer’s disease, like his father. The Swedish crime writer Henning Mankell (born February 3, 1948) died of cancer on 5 October 2015. His most famous creation was “Inspector Kurt Wallander”, who he actually killed off in the last Wallander novel, The Troubled Man (2011).
