Faceless Killers

One frozen January morning at 5am; Inspector Wallander responds to what he believes is a routine call out. When he reaches the isolated farmhouse he discovers a bloodbath. An old man has been tortured and beaten to death; his wife lies barely alive beside his shattered body; both victims of a violence beyond reason. Wallander's life is a shambles. His wife has left him; his daughter refuses to speak to him; and even his ageing father barely tolerates him. He works tirelessly; eats badly; and drinks his nights away in a lonely; neglected flat. But now Wallander must forget his troubles and throw himself into a battle against time.
