En natt i januari mördas Maria och Johannes Lövgren, ett äldre bondepar i Skåne. Innan kvinnan avlider yttrar hon ordet ”utländsk”. Någon tid senare brinner stadens flyktingförläggning och en somalisk flykting blir mördad. Den som hotar menar uppenbarligen allvar. Kommissarie Wallander tar upp kampen mot den hänsynslöse mördaren.
