»Nichts verbreitet sich schneller als das Gerücht« Ein kleiner Ort in Norrland nach dem Krieg. Bertil Kras kommt aus Stockholm, um hier sein Glück zu machen. Er findet Arbeit im Sägewerk. In einem nahegelegenen Lager waren in den letzten Kriegsjahren Kommunisten und andere politische Oppositionelle interniert. Bertil, selbst überzeugter Kommunist, und eine Gruppe Gleichgesinnter wollen diese Vergangenheit publik machen. Doch in einer kalten Januarnacht brennt das Sägewerk ab, und Bertil wird beschuldigt, den Brand gelegt zu haben. Er droht alles zu verlieren – auch die Kontrolle. ›Der Verrückte‹ erzählt von einem Arbeiter, der in der aufstrebenden Nachkriegsgesellschaft zum Opfer wird. Ein früher Roman von Henning Mankell über ein dunkles Kapitel der schwedischen Geschichte.
