Henning Mankell
Henning Mankell Henning Mankell was born in Stockholm in 1948 and raised in a village in northern Sweden.

His series of crime novels featuring inspector Kurt Wallander have been published in 33 countries.

Mankell divides his time between Sweden and Maputo, Mozambique, where he works as the director of Teatro Avenida. Mozambique is also the setting for Henning’s powerful young adult novel Secrets in the Fire, based on real-life land-mine survivor Sofia Alface.
