Inspector Kurt Wallander returns this time to investigate a horrific crime in his Scandinavian homeland somehow linked to a troubled apartheid-era South Africa. When the tenacious sleuth's search for the truth behind the execution-style killing of a Swedish housewife uncovers a plot to assassinate Nelson Mandela, Wallander finds himself in a tangle with the South African secret service and a ruthless ex-KGB 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
