The Castle Ruins / Luftslottet
Wednesday, January 31, 6:30 pm & Saturday, February 3, 3
pm
A bulldozer careens wildly down a sandy road and tips over
on the beach--the driver is dead, and the cab stinks of
gin. The man is a confirmed alcoholic, but the autopsy shows
that he was sober when he died. Kurt, Linda, and Stefan
start their investigation by examining the background of
the victim, who had made a career of digging. They are led
to a ruined castle where they discover a buried clue integral
to the case. The team is working together better than ever,
but beneath the surface something remains unspoken, and
it could thwart justice. |

The Black King / Blodsband
Wednesday, February 7, 6:30 pm & Saturday, February 10,
3 pm
A woman is dead, and for once there is a suspect with an
obvious motive. But Linda, Wallander's daughter, knows the
suspect and is not convinced of his guilt. Stefan, Linda's
lover and colleague, is certain, however, and with Kurt's
backing digs into the man's background--with grave consequences.
To prove the suspect's innocence Linda must solve the case
herself. Is the murdered woman's interest in chess the key
to solving the mystery? |

The Forger / Jokern
Thursday (not Wednesday), February 15, 6:30 pm & Saturday,
February 17, 3 pm
Hans Wiman's remains are revealed when a house burns to
the ground. When the initial investigation shows that he
was dead before the fire, the police start looking for a
murderer. Wiman, however, proves to be a master of mystery.
Detective Wallander is drawn into the case when he finds
a warehouse, rented in Wiman's name, filled with counterfeit
paintings. When he engages the help of Katrin, a local art
expert, both the investigation and Kurt's pulse move into
high gear as the detective finds himself taking a personal
interest in his new colleague. However, Kurt risks overstepping
boundaries and taking things into his own hands as he tries
to determine what is real and what is not. |
