Simple Cases Hide a Sinister Network

A man collapses and dies at an ATM — seemingly of a heart attack. Around the same time, two teenage girls are arrested for the savage murder of a taxi driver, showing no remorse during their confession. At first, the incidents appear unrelated and straightforward. But as Inspector Wallander investigates further, the lines begin to blur.

What begins as two separate cases soon converges into a dark and complex web of cybercrime, radical ideology, and international conspiracy. With every step closer to the truth, Wallander realizes the stakes are much higher than anyone imagined — and time is running out to prevent a devastating attack.

A Masterpiece of Scandinavian Noir

Firewall is a gripping exploration of modern crime and the vulnerabilities of an interconnected world. Mankell’s precise plotting and atmospheric storytelling make this a must-read for fans of Nordic noir and crime fiction that’s as thought-provoking as it is thrilling.
