Rude journée pour le commissaire Yeruldelgger Khaltar Guichyguinnkhen. A l’aube, il apprend que trois Chinois ont été découpés au cutter dans une usine près d’Oulan-Bator. Quelques heures plus tard, dans la steppe, il déterre le cadavre d’une fillette aux boucles blondes agrippée à son tricycle rose. Il y avait la Suède de Mankell, l'Islande d'Indridason, l'Ecosse de Rankin, il y a désormais la Mongolie de Manook !

About A Man for All Seasons The classic dramatization of Sir Thomas More’s historic conflict with Henry VIII—a compelling portrait of a courageous man who died for his convictions. Sir Thomas More—the brilliant nobleman, lawyer, humanist, author of such works as Utopia—was a long-time friend and favorite of Henry VIII, ascending to the position of Lord Chancellor in 1529. Yet he was also a staunch Catholic, and when Henry broke with the Church in 1531 after the Pope had refused to grant him a divorce from Catherine of Aragon, More resigned the Chancellorship. In 1534, Parliament passed a bill requiring all subjects to take an oath acknowledging the supremacy of England’s king over all foreign sovereigns—including the Pope. More refused, was imprisoned, and finally was executed in 1535. An enduring modern classic, A Man for All Seasons “challenges the mind, and, in the end, touches the heart” (New York Times).
