15. The Guilt
The mysterious disappearance of six-year-old Albin Landberg from a kindergarten throws the whole of Ystad into turmoil. Wallander's colleague Martinsson suspects a pedophile on record: Greger Frankman has only recently been released from prison. The child molester, who is under psychological supervision, also lives nearby. Through an indiscretion, concerned parents learn of the investigation against him. A merciless hunt for the alleged culprit begins, which costs Frankman's mother Signe her life. Wallander, however, believes the pedophile to be innocent in this case.
His investigation focuses on the kindergarten teacher Rebecka Odelman, who left in a hurry. Was she trying to evade police questioning? The discovery of the child's body gives the case a surprising and shocking twist: Forensic scientist Karin Linder discovers a high-dose tranquilizer in the boy's blood. Albin's mother Helena Landberg takes the same drug, and her husband Anders is a representative of a pharmaceutical company. Have the parents poisoned their adopted son? When Inspector Wallander finally uncovers the sad truth, it is not only the experienced detective himself who is deeply shocked.
