Henning Mankell's Wallander

Linda Wallander is waiting for her first big case at Ystad police station and her father is getting on her nerves; when her childhood friend mysteriously disappears, she soon needs her father's help on a fascinating and very dangerous investigation.

When a harmless former asylum resident holds up a bank for money and then blows himself up, Wallander, Linda and the Ystad team are forced to dig for leads to find reasons. Who could have persuaded him to do it, and why? Was the explosion an accident? The answers are unexpected.

A middle-aged wealthy couple is found murdered at their stately home while a military exercise has overtaken Ystad. The first place to look for a perpetrator is among the young soldiers. Linda Wallander and Detective Stefan Lindman dig up a surprising lead, proving that when it comes to hunting down a criminal, they can hold their own with Kurt.

Linda takes a personal interest in the case of a child who was found alone in a car and whose father was reported as missing.

When a Liberian immigrant is found murdered in a train yard, Wallander and the Ystad team follow the trail to an African dancing class and a cuckolded former white supremacist. All of this happens against the backdrop of an election and the possibility of Kurt's childhood friend, the democratic candidate, being elected and 'opening the doors' to more immigrants.

Investigating a grisly local murder and the disappearance of a policeman's daughter, Kurt Wallander and his colleagues at the Ystad station begin to suspect the two are connected. As the investigation proceeds it seems that the criminal knows every move they will make and is practically controlling them. So begins a struggle to outwit a master criminal.
