The Talisman is a result of a unique collaboration between two of Sweden's most-acclaimed writers: Henning Mankell and Jan Guillou. Ex-cop Wallton hunts an ancient, mystic Arabic talisman. The talisman changes hands many times. Wallton gets accused of a series of murders during his quest. Who can you trust?
The series examines many highly topical subjects: crime spreading from Eastern to Western Europe, Corruption within the police force. In addition, the series also takes a comical approach on many other contemporary issues.
