The mystery thriller series that inspired the Netflix crime drama
Young Wallander - From the dean of Scandinavian noir, the first
riveting installment in the internationally bestselling and universally
acclaimed Kurt Wallander series.
It was a senselessly violent crime: on a cold night in a remote Swedish
farmhouse an elderly farmer is bludgeoned to death, and his wife is left
to die with a noose around her neck. And as if this didn't present
enough problems for the Ystad police Inspector Kurt Wallander, the dying
woman's last word is foreign, leaving the police the one tangible clue
they have-and in the process, the match that could inflame Sweden's
already smoldering anti-immigrant sentiments.
Unlike the situation with his ex-wife, his estranged daughter, or the
beautiful but married young prosecuter who has peaked his interest, in
this case, Wallander finds a problem he can handle. He quickly becomes
obsessed with solving the crime before the already tense situation
explodes, but soon comes to realize that it will require all his
reserves of energy and dedication to solve.
