One frozen January morning at 5am, Inspector Wallander responds to what he believes is a routine call-out. When he reaches the isolated farmhouse he discovers a bloodbath. An old man has been tortured and beaten to death, his wife lies barely alive beside his shattered body, both victims of a violence beyond reason. The woman supplies Wallander with his only clue: the perpetrators may have been foreign. When this is leaked to the press, it unleashes racial hatred.

Kurt Wallander is a senior police officer. His life is a shambles. His wife has left him, his daughter refuses to speak to him, and even his aging father barely tolerates him. He works tirelessly, eats badly, and drinks his night away in a lonely, neglected flat. But now, with winter tightening and his activities being monitored by a tough-minded district attorney, Wallander must forget his troubles and throw himself into a battle against time and against mounting xenophobia.

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.
