The murder has the obvious markings of a demented serial killer, and Wallander is frantic to find him before he strikes again. The next day he is called to a beach where Sweden’s former Minister of Justice has been axed to death and scalped. He arrives just in time to watch her douse herself in gasoline and set herself aflame.

In the award-winning Sidetracked, Kurt Wallander is called to a nearby rapeseed field where a teenage girl has been loitering all day long. From the dean of Scandinavian noir, the fourth riveting installment in the internationally bestselling and universally acclaimed Kurt Wallander series, the basis for the PBS series staring Kenneth Branagh.
