Linda Wallander just graduated from the police academy, she is waiting to start work at the Ystad police station and move into her own apartment. Meantime, she is living with her father. They will not be able to escape each other when she moves out, since her father is Inspector Kurt Wallander, a veteran of the Ystad police force, whom she will have to work alongside. Soon she is embroiled in the case of her childhood friend Anna, who has inexplicably disappeared. And as the case her father is working on dovetails with her own, something far more calculated and dangerous than either could have imagined begins to emerge.

Work Description

Des animaux immolés par le feu, la tête et les mains d'une femme gisant près d'une bible aux pages griffonnées... Le commissaire Wallander est inquiet. Ces actes seraient-ils un prélude à des sacrifices humains de plus vaste envergure ? La propre fille de Wallander, impatiente d'entrer dans la police, se lance dans une enquête parallèle. Entraînée vers une secte fanatique résolue à punir le monde de ses péchés, elle va rapidement le regretter. [payot.ch]

Excerpts

His thoughts were like a shower of red-hot glowing needles in his head, an almost unbearable pain.
