With Nelson Mandela, who had been imprisoned for twenty-seven years, being released, South Africa's political situation is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and the apartheid system is facing collapse. The white far-right political forces are extremely fearful of this and are trying to prevent it. To this end, an underground far-right white organization called "The Committee" has planned a conspiracy named "Operation Gazelle," aiming to assassinate the leader of the African National Congress, Nelson Mandela, and causing a series of bloody conflicts. The Committee has sent their selected killers to Sweden, thousands of miles away, for training. The killers' arrival disrupts the tranquility of the small Nordic town of Ystad, leading to the wrongful death of real estate businessman Louise Akkerman. Wallander is back on the case, this time not only investigating the murder but also.
