WALLANDER
Shortly after noon Wallander left for the police station. When he came out of his flat into
the street, he paused for a moment, wondering if he should take the car. But his conscience
immediately began to nag him: you haven’t had enough exercise! Besides, Linda was
no doubt standing at the window, watching him. She was his 20-year-old daughter
but behaved like his ex-wife, trying to control him all the time. He understood the reasons,
even if occasionally he found her way to be unbearable. But at this very moment it occurred
to him that no matter what, he was anxious for her to stay. She had always been his little
princess.
Wallander started walking reluctantly. He knew that if he took the car to work, he’d never
hear the last of it.
When he reached the deserted police station, Martinson was sitting in his office talking
to somebody on the phone about a missing tractor. Wallander glanced through a new edict
from the National Police Board that was lying on his desk. It was about pepper spray.
An experimental operation had taken place in the southern part of the country recently,
and an assessment had concluded that in most cases its use produced the desired results:
the weapon had proved to be an excellent device for calming down violent individuals.
Wallander suddenly felt old. He was a terrible shot and was always frightened of getting into
a situation when he would be forced to fire his service pistol. It had happened once when
he had shot in self-defense and it had been traumatic. But the very thought of expanding his
limited arsenal with a collection of little cans of spray was not something he was looking
forward to.
“I’m growing too old”, he thought. “Too old for my own good, and too old for my job.”
Martinson slammed down the receiver and jumped up from his chair. The action reminded
Wallander of them both joining the police fifteen years earlier. Even back then Martinson had
been so vigorous, but also unsure whether or not he was cut out to be a police officer.
On several occasions over the years Martinson had been on the point of resigning - but he had
always stayed on. Now he was no longer young. But unlike Wallander, he had not put
on weight: on the contrary, he had grown thinner and he was definitely in better shape.
The biggest change was that his thick brown hair had vanished.
Martinson gave Wallander a bunch of keys. He could see that most of them looked rather
ancient.
“The country house belongs to a cousin of my wife’s”, said Martinson. “He’s very old,
the house is empty, but for ages he’s been refusing to sell it. Now he’s in a care home,
and he accepts that he won’t be leaving the place. A while ago he asked me to look after
the selling of his house. The time has now come. I thought of you straightaway. I thought
of you for several reasons”, he continued.
