Before the Frost (Innan Frosten) is a novel by Swedish crime-writer Henning Mankell.
The main protagonist is Linda Wallander, daughter of Inspector Wallander, and the book is the first in a projected three-book series in which she takes the lead.
Kurt Wallander and Stefan Lindman (the protagonist from The Return of the Dancing Master) also feature in the novel.
Georgetown University incoming students had to read the book in 2008 as their first year workshop.
