“Let
me provisionally say that we knew each other nineteen years, seven months, and
around fifteen days when he passed away so tragically. I have kept careful records my whole
life. The only data I won’t be able to
record is the exact time of my own death, unless I commit suicide, which I have
no plans to do. But my lawyer has
instructions to burn all my notebooks when I die. They are of value only to me, not anyone
else.”
Wallander was starting to sense that Sundelius was one of those people
who did not get enough chances to talk to others.

Behind by Henning Mankell)
