Almost done

I'm reading "Before the frost", which is a mystery by Henning Mankell, a Swedish author. After finishing it, I'll have read just about all of his work that's available in English.

There might be more available in English than there are in North America, as I found one of his books in a used bookshop in Paris - San Francisco Book Company (Shop?) - that isn't listed in among those available in the Vintage Crime series, despite having occurred earlier than some books in that series - such as "Before the frost."

Mankell's books are good, and often have some sort of international component to them. He's used links to events in Latvia and Africa a couple of times.
