Hans datter Linda, som stadig er i politiet, har fået en kæreste og et lille barn, og i det hele taget ser det ud, som om en fredelig bedstefartilværelse venter Wallander. Indtil den dag, hvor han - af grunde, der aldrig rigtig går op for ham - går på druktur og efterlader sit skarpladte tjenestevåben på et værtshus. Han sendes på tvungen orlov, mens den interne undersøgelse pågår, og mens han grubler over sit fatale fejltrin, sker det: datteren Lindas svigerfar, en pensioneret officer i den svenske marine der spillede en nøglerolle under den Kolde Krig og Sveriges skærmydsler med sovjetiske spion-ubåde i skærgåden, forsvinder sporløst. Den sag kan Wallander naturligvis ikke holde sig fra, orlov eller ej, og han indleder sin egen lille efterforskning ved siden af den officielle. Manden er som sunket i jorden, og snart efter forsvinder hans kone også. Hun dukker imidlertid op igen, død, tilsyneladende et selvmord. På sig har hun papirer, der antyder lyssky politiske forbindelser, der peger østpå mod det tidligere Sovjetunionen og bagud i tiden mod den Kolde Krig. Var marineofficerens hustru i virkeligheden spion? Tog hun sit eget liv, eller blev hun myrdet? Og hvad har hun og Sveriges koldkrigsbagrund med Lindas svigerfars forsvinden at gøre? Der viser sig at være meget langt til den fredelige pensionisttilværelse for Kurt Wallander. Romanen er indlæst af Karsten Pharao - en af Danmarks bedste stemmer til en af verdens bedste krimier.
