What connects the murder of a cab driver and the apparent victim of a heart attack?

Detective drama. Wallander investigates the link between the death of a cab driver and an apparent heart attack victim, and uncovers an international conspiracy.

A body is found at a cash point, the apparent victim of a heart attack. Two teenage girls are arrested for the brutal murder of a cab driver. The girls confess to the crime, showing no remorse. Two open and shut cases.

At first these two incidents seem to have nothing in common, but as Wallander delves deeper into the mystery of why the girls murdered the cab driver, he begins to unravel a plot much more involved complicated than he initially suspected. The two cases become one, and lead to a conspiracy that stretches beyond the borders of Sweden.

BBC One
