He tells Wallander they were his informants in a drug-smuggling ring after the dinghy, containing cocaine, is stolen.

After Wallander discovers that his hotel room is bugged and he is being shadowed, journalist Sergei Upitis tells him that Liepa was investigating corruption in his own force, but Upitis is framed for Liepa's murder and is found hanged in his cell. The Riga police then close the case. However, Wallander, working with Liepa's widow Baiba and her cousin Inese, locate the missing case notes to unmask the traitor in the Latvian force.
