Adaptations
A feature film adaptation was filmed in 2004, directed by Kjell-Åke Andersson. It was released to Swedish cinemas on 14 January 2005 and stars Johanna Sällström as Linda and Krister Henriksson as Kurt. The film also serves as the opening installment of Mankell's Wallander, a series of theatrical and straight-to-video films that are based on story outlines by Mankell but otherwise unconnected to the novels. Sällström and Henriksson reprise their roles in these films.
A stage adaptation authorised by Mankell was performed at the Westphalia State Theatre in Paderborn, Germany in 2006.
