The white lioness

The murder of a Swedish housewife looks like a simple case even though there is no obvious suspect.

But then Kurt Wallander learns of a determined stalker, and soon enough, the police catch up with him. But when his alibi turns out to be airtight, they realize that what seemed a simple crime of passion is actually far more complex and dangerous. The search for the truth behind the killing eventually uncovers an assassination plot, and Wallander soon finds himself in a tangle with both the secret police and a ruthless foreign agent.
