BBC Four - Wallander, The Pyramid

A light aeroplane crash and an explosion lead Wallander to a narcotics gang rivalry.

Detective drama. Wallander investigates a light aeroplane crash and the deaths of two sisters in a shop explosion, believing events are linked to rival narcotics gangs.

Crime thriller based on a novel by Henning Mankell. 

Detective Wallander is haunted by the spectre of a murder he was unable to prevent as a young policeman. Years after the event, the daughter of the murder victim, now a heroin addict, dies of an overdose. 

A distressed Wallander is assigned to investigate the crash of a light airplane and a detonated armour piercing shell is found in the wreckage. A few days later, two elderly sisters are killed in an explosion in a sewing supplies shop. Traces of an advanced explosive are found in the burnt-out shop and evidence soon mounts to indicate that both events are tied to a showdown between two rival narcotics gangs.
