Faceless Killers

In the winter on the Skåne coast plains, a farmer wakes up and heads to the neighboring farm, only to be confronted with a horrifying scene. His neighbor, John Lövgren, is found on the floor with a disfigured face, while John’s wife, Mary, sits in a chair with a noose around her neck, her nightgown stained with blood. Before she passes away in the hospital, she manages to utter a single word that quickly spreads through the media: “Foreign.” Inspector Kurt Wallander of the Ystad police is in charge of the investigation and soon starts 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 serious. He understands that he is now in a race against time and facing a merciless adversary—a faceless killer.
