Sidetracked is a 1999 Swedish-language book written by Henning Mankell and Steven T. Murray.
A girl commits suicide in baffling circumstances. Three vicious murders shatter the tranquillity of the Swedish province of Skane. Is there a connection? Inspector Kurt Wallander must find out. Midsummer approaches and Wallander prepares for a holiday with the new woman in his life, hopeful that his wayward daughter and ageing father will cope without him. But his summer is ruined when a girl commits suicide before his eyes, and a former minister of justice is butchered in the first of a series of apparently motiveless murders. Wallander's hunt for the girl's identity and his furious pursuit of a killer who scalps his victims will throw him, and those he loves most, into mortal danger.
