A fanatical sect is suspected to be behind some horrific violent crimes in Ystad. Henning Mankell's sharp-eyed commissioner receives assistance from her daughter Linda, a newly-graduated police officer, and criminal inspector Stefan Lindman. The first of 32 films with Krister Henriksson as the popular commissioner Kurt Wallander.
A chillingly realistic procedural that plunges into the dark underbelly of a quiet town. It's a slow-burn investigation filled with moral ambiguity and a palpable sense of dread, perfect for a contemplative, atmospheric watch.
