Firewall: A Kurt Wallander Mystery | Henning Mankell
5 posts | 13 read | 5 to read
Ystad, Sweden, fall 1997. Two teenage girls brutally murder a taxi driver. Although they are quickly apprehended, one of them escapes police custody and disappears without a trace. A few days later, a man stops at an ATM during his evening walk and suddenly falls dead to the ground. Shortly thereafter, a blackout cuts power to a large swath of southern Sweden. When a serviceman arrives at the malfunctioning power substation, he makes a grisly discovery. Inspector Kurt Wallander begins to sense a connection between all of these events and, at the same time, becomes increasingly aware of the vulnerability of our digitized society.

Pickpick

A cautious pick. I'll read more Wallander, but this may have been a slightly strange one to start with. (Though if I insist on starting with no. 8 in the series...)

If you read this one, before you start, remember 1997. Did you use the Internet? Own a mobile phone? What did you know about the online world? Turns out 1997 was longer ago than I thought. 👇

rockpools I did enjoy the tired, jaded, thoughtful, coffee-drinking police team. Not sure how I feel about the number of unresolved loose-ends though they're probably realistic. #EuropeByBook #Sweden (edited) 7y

I really haven't read much by European writers. For some reason (!!), now seems like the time to do it. So, for the next 18 months, I'm going to take myself off on a challenge/tour of #EuropeByBook, & see how much ground I can cover. I'll be reading a book/country a month, focusing mainly (not exclusively) on fiction in translation.

For October, I'm starting in Sweden with Wallander.

julesG Great idea. Do you have an itinerary for the other countries? 7y
Cathythoughts Wallander is one of my fave characters. I love Henning Mankell ❤️enjoy 7y
bedandabook I love Mankell too. Sounds like a great plan. There are some wonderful authors in Europe. 7y

PatriciaU Would you share a list when you finish? 7y
rockpools @julesG Thanks 🙂. No, not yet - I'm not sure yet how straightforward/expensive it'll be to find things I want to read. It should be fun to see what's out there. 7y
rockpools @Cathythoughts Thank you! Hope things still ok with you, and your power gets quickly reconnected . 7y
rockpools @bedandabook Thank you! If you have any 'must-read' suggestions, do let me know! 7y
rockpools @PatriciaU Sure! Though I'm not sure I'll actually finish, but... At the moment I'm looking at some of the publishers in this prize list: https://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/womenintranslation/ 7y
Onioons Great idea to read translations. Look forward to hearing how it goes! 7y
