The Cellist/Cellisten
August 4 & August 6

The Cellist/Cellisten

A Russian cellist is subject to a bomb attack following a performance in Ystad. Incidentally, the woman is the key witness in a murder trial against the son of a Russian mafia boss. Wallander and his colleagues suddenly find themselves in the midst of a war against a powerful international enemy driven by something much deeper than money and whose methods are merciless.

The Priest/Prästen

The Priest/Prästen
August 11 & August 13

A priest is found shot outside a hostel in Ystad, in what looks like attempted murder. The priest, who would be able to identify the shooter, fights for his life in the hospital. Only when the police learn that the priest had a love affair outside his marriage do they realize that they are dealing with a crime of passion.
