What connects the shocking suicide of a young woman and the vicious murder of a government minister? Inspector Kurt Wallander’s investigation uncovers wrongdoing and corruption.

The death of man from a heart attack and the apparently unrelated murder of a taxicab driver leads Wallander to a conspiracy that stretches far beyond the borders of Sweden.

Three young friends are shot in a wood during an elaborate Midsummer’s Eve picnic. Then one of Inspector Wallander’s colleagues is also found murdered.

Entering an isolated farmhouse on what he believes is a routine call, Inspector Wallander discovers a bloodbath. An old man has been tortured and beaten to death.

After killing a man in the line of duty, Wallander finds himself spiraling into depression. He has just decided to leave the police when an old friend approaches him to investigate the recent death.

When Wallander investigates the disappearance of an elderly bird-watcher, he discovers a gruesome and meticulously planned murder: a body impaled in a trap of sharpened bamboo poles.
