The first case of Inspector Kurt Wallander. He drinks too much, he works too hard, and he sleeps too little. His life is a shambles. But all of a sudden these are the least of his worries.

Wallander is a senior police officer at Ystad, a small town in the wind- lashed Swedish province of Skåne. His wife has left him, his daughter won't speak to him, his ageing father barely tolerates him. Then, at 5 a.m. on a frozen January morning, he responds to a routine call. An old man has been tortured and beaten to death in his isolated farmhouse; his wife is lying barely alive beside him. Wallander has one clue: the killers may have been foreign. When this information is leaked, xenophobia is unleashed in Skåne, and Wallander finds himself in a race against time: solve the crimes or the death toll will rise.

Work Description

En natt i januari mördas Maria och Johannes Lövgren, ett äldre bondepar i Skåne. Innan kvinnan avlider yttrar hon ordet ”utländsk”. Någon tid senare brinner stadens flyktingförläggning och en somalisk flykting blir mördad. Den som hotar menar uppenbarligen allvar. Kommissarie Wallander tar upp kampen mot den hänsynslöse mördaren.

Excerpts

He has forgotten something, he knows that for sure when he wakes up.
