Faceless killers

Wallander is a senior officer in the wind-lashed Swedish province of Skåne. His wife has left him, his daughter won't speak to him, his ageing father barely tolerates him. Then, at 5am on a frozen January morning, he responds to a routine call. An old man has been tortured and beaten to death in his isolated farmhouse; his wife is lying barely alive beside him. Wallander begins a race against time: solve the crimes or the death toll will rise. --back cover
