Henning Mankell _ Firewall
Could you hold Martinsson's flashlight for a moment?" Wallander said to Hansson."Why?""Just do it, please."Martinsson handed Hansson his flashlight. Wallander took a step forward and hit Martinsson in the face. However, since it was hard to judge the distance between them in the shifting beams of the flashlights, the blow didn't land squarely on the jaw as intended. It was more of a gentle nudge."What the hell are you doing?""What the hell are you doing?" Wallander yelled back.Then he threw himself on Martinsson and they fell into the mud. Hansson tried to grab them as they fell, but slipped.

Henning Mankell _ Faceless Killers
The wife of the dead man had thrown herself down in the mud, and her wails were so piercing that several of the policemen couldn't tolerate the sound and had moved away. To his surprise, Wallander saw that the only one who was able to handle the grieving woman and the anguished children was Martinsson. The youngest policeman on the force, who so far in his career had never even been forced to notify someone of a relative's death. He had held the woman, kneeling in the mud, and in some way the two were able to understand each other across the language barrier.

It was a feeling which stayed with him after he got back home to his terrace house on the Kristianstad road.

Martinsson had sifted through the tip-offs. Everything that the police learnt was fed into a computer. Then he did a rough sort. The most ridiculous ones never got beyond the print-outs."Hulda Yngveson phoned from Vallby and said that is was the disapproving hand of God that dealt the blow," said Martinsson."She always calls," sighed Rydberg. "If a calf runs off, it's because God is displeased.""I put her on the C.F. list," said Martinsson.The sullen atmosphere was broken by a little amusement when Martinsson explained that C.F. stood for "crazy fools".

Henning Mankell _ Faceless Killers
Martinsson fired. Wallander watched Lucia fly back and put his hand up to his shoulder. The gun fell from his hand and landed outside the counter. With a bellow Martinsson yanked himself free of the guy ropes and launched himself at the counter, straight at the wounded man. The counter collapsed, and Martinsson landed in a jumble of leather jackets.Wallander lunged forwards and grabbed the gun from mud. He saw Skinhead dash past him into crowd. No-one seemed to have noticed the shots. The traders in the surrounding stalls had watched in amazement as Martinsson made his ferocious tiger pounce."Get after him," Martinsson shouted from the heap of leather jackets. "I'll take care of this bastard.

Henning Mankell _ Before the Frost
He walked out and closed the door. Linda had the feeling that she was imprisoned, not with a lock and key, but by the imposed time limit. She decided to write down what she was going to say in a note-book, and pulled one across the table towards her. When she flipped it open she was confronted with a bad sketch of a seductively posed naked woman. To her surprise she saw it was Martinsson's notepad. But why should that surprise me? she thought. All the men I know spend an enormous amount of mental energy undressing women in their minds.
