Faceless Killers

In the winter on the plains of the Skåne coast, a farmer awakens and heads to the neighboring farm, only to be confronted with a horrifying scene. His neighbor, John Lövgren, lies on the floor with a shattered face, while John’s wife, Mary, sits in a chair with a noose around her neck, her nightgown stained with blood. Before succumbing to her injuries in the hospital, Mary manages to utter a single word that quickly spreads through the media: “Foreign.” Inspector Kurt Wallander of the Ystad police takes charge of the investigation and soon begins receiving anonymous threats over the phone. When the local refugee camp is set ablaze and a Somali refugee is murdered, Wallander realizes the threats are deadly serious. He understands that he is now in a race against time and facing a merciless adversary—a faceless killer.
