Masterpiece Mystery Escaped from its barn, a ghostly white stallion heralds a gruesome crime. An elderly farmer and his wife are the victims: the man slain, the woman only alive enough to mutter "fff..." before expiring. Wallander thinks she might h... (more)ave been trying to say "foreigner." But, then, he has immigrants on his mind, having just met his daughter's new boyfriend of Syrian descent. The situation worsens when a police insider tips off the press that Wallander heard the dying woman say that her assailants were foreign. This sparks a wave of revenge attacks by Swedish nationalists against migrant workers, with a deadly outcome. Even worse, the informant seems to be feeding tips to the nationalists to help them escape capture. With two deadly crimes on his hands, Wallander has several suggestive clues: the woman was strangled with a rope tied with an unusual knot; her husband was secretly wealthy, with a former mistress and an illegitimate son; unknown to the woman, her husband had hidden cash in the barn from which the stallion later bolted; and the migrant's killers used an old Mercedes for their getaway, identified by a witness who didn't see it but recognized its distinctive sound. The trail leads Wallander to an encounter of unprecedented violence for him — an incident that leaves this hardened cop badly shaken, filled with self doubt, and resolved to give up his career; but not before he finds the faceless killers.
