A few minutes later he returned, shaking his head. "It must have been Björk's private map," he said. "I couldn't find it." "Call the bookseller and wake him up," said Wallander. "I want a map here now." "Are you aware that it's not even six in the morning on Midsummer Day?" Svedberg wondered. "It can't be helped. Call him. And send a car over to pick up the map." Wallander

Sidetracked
Se preguntó con desconsuelo en qué mundo estaban viviendo. Un mundo donde la gente joven intentaba quitarse la vida de algún modo. Decidió que en ese momento estaban sumergidos en una época que se podría llamar el tiempo de los fracasos. Las ilusiones que se habían forjado resultaron ser menos sólidas de lo esperado. Creían edificar una casa y lo que hacían en realidad era erigir un monumento sobre algo ya pasado y casi olvidado. Suecia se derrumbaba alrededor de él, como un sistema político de estantes gigantescos que se viniera abajo. Nadie sabía quiénes serían los carpinteros que estaban en el recibidor esperando entrar para colocar las nuevas estanterías. Tampoco sabía nadie cómo serían éstas. Todo era muy confuso, aparte de que era verano y hacía calor. La gente joven se suicidaba, o al menos intentaba hacerlo. La gente vivía para olvidar, no para recordar. Las viviendas eran escondites más que hogares acogedores. Y los policías estaban callados esperando el momento en el que vigilasen sus celdas de arresto unos hombres con otros uniformes, los hombres de las empresas privadas de seguridad.
