Mordere uden ansigt

En ældre landmand og hans kone bliver bestialsk myrdet og skamferet til ukendelighed på en ensomt beliggende gård i Skåne. Ingen har nogensinde set så brutale mord i Sverige. Et af politiets spor peger mod udlændinge, og det udløser et voldsomt fremmedhad. Modstridende inter-esser lægger et massivt pres på opklaringsarbejdet og på kriminalkommissær Kurt Wallander, hvis privatliv også er i krise. "Mordere uden ansigt skaffede fortjent sin forfatter Glasnøglen, som årets bedste krimi ... den er både nyskabende og traditionelt spændende i den genre, som gjorde Mankells landsmænd, Sjöwall & Wahlöö, verdensberømte."
