Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.co.uk

Not too long ago, Henning Mankell was a well-kept secret, but his latest book, Firewall, will be received by readers worldwide with much fanfare, which is as it should be; Mankell is something special. Some of the initial resistance to Mankell's work might be understandable; like one of the greatest of all filmmakers, Ingmar Bergman, Mankell is from a country noted for Nordic gloom and the lazy-minded are not always prepared to go beyond stereotypes. Their loss: like his cinematic compatriot (Mankell is in fact married to Bergman's daughter), this is an artist of rare achievement.

Firewall continues Mankell's unvarnished portraits of modern life, in which society and all its institutions (not least the family) are on the edge. Here, his long-term protagonist, Inspector Kurt Wallander, moves into new area of crime: cyberspace. Various deaths have occurred: the user of a cash machine, a taxi driver killed by two young girls. The country is plunged into blackout by an electricity failure, and a grim find is made at a power station. What's the connection? Wallander finds himself on the trail of cyber terrorists with shady anarchic aims. But can his own malfunctioning team of coppers pull together to help catch them--or is there a fifth columnist in the police? Plotting here is impeccable, although Firewall may not be a prime entry point for those new to Mankell. But Wallander (here worried about his diabetes and failure to lose weight) is one of the great literary coppers: enthusiasts need not hesitate. --Barry Forshaw -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .

From Publishers Weekly

In the sixth Kurt Wallander book to appear in English (One Step Behind, etc.), Mankell proves once again that spending time with a glum police inspector in chilly Sweden can be quite thrilling. In the small town of Ystad, a pair of seemingly random events take place within a matter of days: two teenage girls with no apparent motive brutally beat and stab a taxi driver to death, and a remarkably healthy man checks his bank balance at an ATM and then collapses dead on the sidewalk. After two more odd murders, Wallander becomes convinced that the incidents are all connected. The recurring clues demonstrating the vulnerability of society in the electronic age remain just outside of the Luddite inspector's understanding. But once he detects a conspiracy to collapse the world's financial infrastructure on a specific date, Wallander, whose position at work is already imperiled, ignores office politics and protocol to stop the would-be revolutionary. Although Wallander and his investigative team are forced to work at a dizzying speed, the pace of the book is just right, doling out new leads and intrigues right when they're needed. The only shortcoming in this otherwise smartly written mystery is that too many of the most perplexing clues discovered by Wallander are dismissed as red herrings or coincidence. Overall, however, Mankell's ambitious endeavor to combine large themes with small-town murder is a notable success.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Brannvegg, 4. Dezember 2003
This book is very different from 'Sidetracked'. There, the first 100 pages were filled with Wallender's repeated introspections, so that the book only took off after that. I read this book partly while visiting S. Sweden. However, I must state that the occurence so many murders so fast in Ystad in the book contrasted sharply with the nice reality of street life and cafe atmosphere in Ystad in July! The old town (gammlebyen) is surprisingly large, not so many like it are left in Scandinavia.

This book is highly recommendable, really takes off from the start. It makes references in the beginning to two of Wallender's earlier cases, Sidetracked and Hunde von Riga, and with all of Wallender's complaints about health and his colleagues foreshadows his coming retirement. I read in a German article this summer that Mankell lives in Africa and soon will replace the Wallender series with one where Wallender's daughter 'stars'.

This review is based on the Norwegian translation 'Brannvegg'.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Mankell's best mystery, 10. Dezember 2003
Very different from "Sidetracked". There, the first 100 pages were filled with Wallender's repeated introspections so that the book took off very, very slowly, but finally flew well. "Firewall" is highly recommendable, really takes off strongly from the start. Makes references early-on to two of Wallender's earlier cases ("Die falsche Fährte", "Hunde von Riga") and maybe foreshadows Wallender's 'retirement'. I read in a German article in summer, 2002, that Mankell lives in an African city, and soon will replace the Wallender series with one where Wallender's daughter 'stars'. That the daughter appears was not born out in "Return of the Dancing Master", however.

This review is based on the Norwegian translation, "Brannvegg", read partly while we visited S. Sweden in 2002. The of occurence so many murders so fast in Ystad in the book contrasted sharply with the inviting reality of street life and cafe atmosphere in Ystad in July! The Altstadt is surprisingly large and pretty, not so many Gammle Byene left in Scandinavia.

4.0 von 5 Sternen The October 20th should change the intire world., 4. Januar 2007
Von Werner Mezger "wm" (Germany - Neubiberg, Bayern) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
(REAL NAME)   
A group of anarchic terrorists are plannig to destroy the world financial market. The game begins with a man who falls inexplicably to the ground in front of a cash machine.

At the same time two young girls are killing a taxi driver without any reason. Then one of the girls escapes from police custody and disappears without a trace. An unexpected blackout leaves half the country in darkness and when the engineer arrives at the malfunctioning powerstation he makes a grisly discovery - the escaped girl hung appends over the elecrical power circuits. Inspector Kurt Wallander is shure that this events must be linked somehow. As he searches for answers he gets danegerously involved. The terrorists always seem to be one step ahead of the police next move and hidden within the anonymity of the cyberspace. Wallander needs help from a former criminal - Modin. Modin is young and very confident with the cyberspace and whose security systems. Is he the key to solve this case in time?

This is a solid swedish thriller who plays in Ystad - a swedish city at the Baltic Sea. Mankell is a really stunningly story writer with an accurate style which will hold you awake for sure - although the story will begin slowly.
