Henning Mankell Quote
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.
