Riassunto

The sensational and utterly unforgettable thriller that exposes the soul of a culture...the heart of a people...and the mind of a killer...A bomb has not only destroyed Stockholm's new Olympic arena just months before the Summer Games, it has blown someone to pieces. Putting a city on edge with fears of a terrorist on the loose, the Bomber will become journalist Annika Bengtzon's biggest story - or the final nail in her coffin. Set against the breathtaking landscape of the Swedish winter, THE BOMBER draws in readers like the dark and edgy eye of a TV camera at a nighttime crime scene, delivering a climax that's a blasting cap on a short fuse, ready to detonate a reporter's world. Liza Marklund's extraordinary writing, bone-chilling plot and irresistible heroine have created an international phenomenon as explosive as the Bomber's devastating blasts.

Recensione:

* 'Gripping . . . the pace never slackens' SUNDAY EXPRESS
* 'The opening sentence of THE BOMBER grabs your attention with the promise of nail-biting action and excitement. The remarkable achievement of this book is that never for a moment do you feel any doubt about that promise being fulfilled. The tension never slackens . . .It is the intricate development of Bengtzon's character taht lives this novel far above the level of the average crime caper. Take the independence and determination of Peter Hoeg's Miss Smilla, stir in the sharpness and honesty of Clarice Starling in SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, then add the problems of a career woman trying to juggle the demands of job and family, despite the bloody-mindedness of envious male colleagues and you begin to sense the qualities that make up Annika Bengtzon.'
