'Another gripping Inspector Wallander mystery by Sweden's master crime writer' Observer

'Firewall is the eighth of his investigations, and the most enjoyable yet' Guardian

Stopping to use a cash machine one evening, a man falls to the ground: dead. A taxi driver is brutally murdered by two teenage girls who demonstrate a complete lack of remorse. One girl escapes police custody and disappears without trace. Soon afterwards, a blackout covers half the country. When an engineer arrives at the malfunctioning power station, he makes a grisly discovery...

Inspector Kurt Wallander is sure that these events must be linked - somehow. Hampered by the discovery of betrayals in his own team, lonely and frustrated, Wallander begins to lose conviction in his role as a detective. But the search for answers will lead Wallander dangerously close to a shadowy group of anarchic terrorists, hidden within the anonymity of cyberspace.

Somehow these criminals seem always to know the police's next move.

'Firewall cracks along at a punishing pace... I am already hankering for a return to Ystad and a few more sleepless nights traipsing after Kurt' James Urquhart, Independent
