Description: 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.
