Wallander Season 3 Episode 2, The Dogs of Riga, aired 7/15/2012

      Kurt Wallander is drawn into a case involving police corruption in Latvia.  A detective that has confided in him is murdered.  A boat is washed up near Ystad and two murdered Latvian informants are found dead in the boat.  Soon afterwards, Wallander is joined by a cop from Riga, Major Leipa.  As soon as Leipa returns to Riga, he is murdered.  Wallender flies to Latvia to try to solve three murder cases and he knows he cannot trust anyone he meets!!

     Kurt meets with Leipa’s widow, Baiba.  He feels he can trust her and she can help him with his investigation.  Riga has very narrow streets and most of the buildings are very old.  The police station has Stalinist offices, CCTV cameras and ex-KGB officers.  Kurt believes most of the officers are corrupt.  5* (I really liked this episode)
