A young woman sets herself on fire in front of Wallander, leaving him shaken and determined to understand why she chose such a horrific end. Soon afterward, a series of violent murders begins, each more disturbing than the last, with victims seemingly chosen at random. The brutality of the crimes suggests a killer driven by something deeper than simple revenge.

As Wallander struggles with his own exhaustion and personal problems, the investigation reveals a pattern that points to a carefully planned campaign of vengeance. The closer he gets to the truth, the more he realizes the killer’s motives are rooted in past crimes that were never punished.
