Firewall

A Kurt Wallander Mystery

By: Henning Mankell, Ebba Segerberg - translator

Narrated by: Dick Hill

A body is found at an ATM, the apparent victim a of heart attack. Then, two teenage girls are arrested for the brutal murder of a cab driver. The girls confess to the crime, showing no remorse whatsoever. Two open-and-shut cases.

At first these two incidents seem to have nothing in common, but as Wallander delves deeper into the mystery of why the girls murdered the cab driver, he begins to unravel a plot much more complicated than he initially suspected. The two cases become one and lead to a conspiracy that stretches far beyond the borders of Sweden.

Critic reviews

"In the sixth Kurt Wallander book to appear in English, Mankell proves once again that spending time with a glum police inspector in chilly Sweden can be quite thrilling." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Well-paced...a thinking man's thriller." ( New York Times Book Review)

Great story.

Enjoyed the setting in Sweden. At least my second or third of his books so I think that makes me a fan.

One of the best in the series.

A story of challenge mystery accusations broken dreams and foiled plans… and that just the good guys. Well worth the listen. Reader was excellent.
Too marks across the board.

Excellent Plot, Milleau & Characters

I wish for more and more of Wallander.
I love the Nordic setting.
Don't want to write any more, ok?

As always, wonderful story and Human insight

I have one Walkabder left- and am already feeling a loss. But Firewall more than met
my expectations-- tense, moving, worrisome, and- rewarding-- this is Mankell at his best,
and I have learned to love not only the author and the stories-- but-- the narrator-
This was an outstanding listen- WAB

Reflections

A complex story of human conditions and weaknesses against a twenty first century crime ring. Fascinating confrontations.
