In 1992, in peaceful Southern Sweden, a young housewife, pillar of the Methodist church, disappears and is found murdered, execution style, and Inspector Kurt Wallander and his team are called in to investigate. The execution-style murder of a Swedish housewife looks like a simple case even though there is no obvious suspect. But then Wallander learns of a determined stalker, and soon enough, the cops catch up with him. However, when his alibi turns out to be airtight, they realize that what seemed a simple crime of passion is actually far more complex and dangerous. The search for the truth behind the killing eventually uncovers an assassination plot, and Wallander soon finds himself in a tangle with both the secret police and a ruthless foreign agent.

First Sentence
"Louise Akerblom, an estate agent, left the Savings Bank in Skurup shortly after 3.00 in the afternoon on Friday, April 24."
Work Description
Una tarde de primavera de 1992, la joven agente inmobiliaria Louise Akerblom es brutalmente asesinada en una solitaria y apartada granja de Escania. Un caso difícil para la polícia, pues, a primera vista, no hay un móvil claro, y todo parece indicar que la muchacha sólo vio algo que no debía ver.
Esta investigación supone para Wallander un descenso a los infiernos mucho más largo y profundo de lo que nunca hubiera imaginado al iniciarse un caso. Y esta vez, además, se trata de una conspiración internacional detrás de la cual se encuentra una organización de extrema derecha. Ésta, decidida a dinamitar el proceso antiapartheid en la lejana Sudáfrica, ha contratado a un asesino a sueldo, quien, con la ayuda de un antiguo agente de la KGB, planea atentar contra un importante dirigente muy cerca de donde Wallander investiga. Acosado por sus persistentes problemas personales, el inspector entrará en una espiral de suspense cada vez más
