In Henning Mankell’s novel "Before the Frost," a moment of anger escalates dramatically when Linda hurls an ashtray at a man, striking him just above the eye. This act of violence results in a cut, causing blood to flow down his face. The scene is intensified as the blood splatters onto Harriet Bolson's file, highlighting the chaotic intersection of personal conflict and professional lives.

This incident not only illustrates the rising tension between the characters but also serves to foreshadow deeper issues that may arise as the story unfolds. Mankell captures the raw emotions and consequences of such impulsive actions, setting the stage for a narrative that explores complex relationships and the impact of violence.
