“They drove past the place where Wallander had run over the hare. A flock of crows took off as they approached. The hare was already dismembered to the point of unrecognizability. Wallander told Modin that he was the one who had run over it.
‘You always see hundreds of run-over hares along this road,’ Wallander remarked. ‘But it’s only once you kill one yourself that you really see it.’ “
Those of you with an interest in exceptionally well-written and clever mysteries recognize the name Wallander. He’s the Chief of Detectives in a small Swedish town created by award winning author Henning Mankell. The quote is from his book Firewall.
