Biography
Böle was an enemy of Kurt Wallander since he begun his police career. In a flashback, he is seen breaking in to a house that belongs to Wallander's good friend. When Wallander arrives, it is revealed that Böle killed his friend. Wallander points his gun at him but does not dare to shoot and Böle manages to escape and kills the wife of his friend as well, while their baby daughter Eva, whom is also Wallander's goddaughter, watches and cries.

After several decades later, Böle is a drug distributor and restaurant owner. One night his henchman Yngve Holm sells heroin to a costumer who happes to be Eva, and later dies in an overdose in her appartment. Böle is later seen shooting down a plane with two of his own drug dealers, possibly to minimize the risks of potential snitches.

Because of  the overdose of Eva, Wallander asks around and arrives to Böle's restaurant to see if they would know anything about the local drug dealers, to which Böle himself denies, but Wallander recognizes Böle as the burglar who killed his bes friend. But Wallander does not have any evidences that Böle is guilty of anything or even that he is involved in the crimes going on.

Because he thought Yngve Holm was irresponsible and is seen as a threat against Böle's plan to build up a criminal network with him in the center, he kidnaps and ties up Yngve's aunt in her own home and puts a puls-meter on her wired to a bomb, so if she tries to breake loose or screams for help, it explodes. He leaves her and tells her to "say hello to her sister", revealing that his plan is to kill them both once she arrives. When her sister do arrive, she does not know about the bomb and they both dies in the explosion.

Wallander meets one of Böle's former drug dealers and is about to tell him about Böle, but Böle arrives in a car and starts shooting at them and manages to kill the drug dealer, which triggers Wallanders flashbacks about his friends death.

Böle meets Yngve's right-hand man Frank and they talk about how they should make Yngve feel even more threatened. Böle tells that they should make Yngve feel alone, to which Frank agrees with but in order to do so, Böle ends the meeting by shooting Frank in the head. Böle proceeds his plan by kidnapping Yngve's teenage daughter and puts a new bomb-belt on her.

When Yngve has turned himself into the police and agrees to meet Böle to record their conversation. Böle, unknowing about the wire, reveals about the bomb on his daughter but this time, the puls-meter is on Böle himself, so if Böle does not get what he wants from Yngve, his puls will increase because of anger which will trigger the bomb.

When Böle discovers the wire on Yngve, he is about to leave and take Yngve's daughter with him, but gets knocked down from behind by Wallander. Wallander takes of the bomb-belt from her and throws it into the car. Wallander later drives Böle to the house where he killed Wallander's friend. Wallander screams at Böle to remind him of what he did and threatens to shoot him. But Wallander still does not dare to kill him and Böle laughs at him and tells him that he does not even remember the place and once again escapes and jumps in to the car, but Wallander chases him and actually shoots towards him. Böle becomes scarred and his puls increases enough to trigger the bomb in the car, killing him.
