Description

When a stranger dies unexpectedly at a cash machine and a taxi driver is murdered by two seemingly remorseless teenage girls, Inspector Kurt Wallander confronts a series of events that defy easy explanation. As a nationwide blackout exposes a disturbing crime at a power station, Wallander begins to suspect that the incidents are connected—and that someone is manipulating the investigation from the shadows. Complicated by betrayal within his own team and threats moving through the anonymity of cyberspace, the case forces him to question both his instincts and his place in a rapidly changing world. A tense, atmospheric police procedural, the novel explores technological vulnerability, social alienation, and the fragile boundaries between order and chaos.
