在这部沃兰德探长系列：鬼魂剧情/犯罪/悬疑片中,一對夫婦死於家中瓦斯爆炸意外，沃蘭德（金獎演員克里斯特亨利克森飾演）深入調查，發現縱火案竟是連續謀殺案。根據犯罪小說家賀寧曼凱爾的暢銷作品改編。
An adulterous couple, Nina Adler and Martin Rittner,are blown up in a beach-house explosion and foul play is suspected. Peter,Nina's husband and Martin's business partner, is a thuggish,dodgy sort but Rittner's wife gives him an alibi. A tramp,subject to memory losses,known to be in the area at the time of the murders,who participated in scams for Adler and Rittner, is also killed but again Adler has an alibi. Wallander learns that the key to the murders lies in a particularly despicable business fraud and a man out for terrible revenge for deeply personal reasons.
