An old farmer and his wife are murdered. Except for their horse, nobody saw or heard anything. During the investigation it turned out that the old farmer had secrets of his own.
Inspector Wallander spends almost 6 months to solve this crime which involves many false leads.

Great characterizations throughout! A very good read!
