[Kurt Wallander 02] • Les Chiens De Riga

Second in the Kurt Wallander series.

Sweden, winter, 1991. Inspector Kurt Wallander and his team receive an

anonymous tip-off. A few days later a life raft is washed up on a beach. In it

are two men, dressed in expensive suits, shot dead. The dead men were

criminals, victims of what seems to have been a gangland hit. But what appears

to be an open-and-shut case soon takes on a far more sinister aspect.

Wallander travels across the Baltic Sea, to Riga in Latvia, where he is

plunged into a frozen, alien world of police surveillance, scarcely veiled

threats, and lies. Doomed always to be one step behind the shadowy figures he

pursues, only Wallander's obstinate desire to see that justice is done brings

the truth to light.
