Description
A city in darkness. A hero in disgrace. His daughter in the gravest danger. With its heart-pounding action and breakneck pace, Acts of Vanishing is the perfect blockbuster thriller.
One winter evening just before Christmas, Stockholm is plunged into a sudden, citywide blackout. Radio, internet, phone service—all cut out simultaneously, cloaking the city in darkness and silence.
On the pitch-black streets, a young woman carries a message for her estranged father. It may be the key to reversing the blackout and preventing further attacks. But someone powerful is determined to stop her from delivering it...
In an eerily quiet newsroom, journalist Christina Sandberg tries to piece together what's happening. She has a terrible feeling that, somehow, her ex-husband William is involved...
Code breaker and cyber-security expert William Sandberg recieved an anonymous email, immediately before the blackout, with very specific directions to be followed. His erstwhile colleagues in the state military police are very aware of this correspondence. Sandberg is taken into custody-just when he most needs to be in action to clear his name, find his daughter, and save the country from disaster.

This book begins with a blackout over Stockholm, where everything goes dark, not just the lights, but the phones, the internet – basically everything that connects the city to the rest of the world. A young woman with information about the blackout is murdered as she tries to give her father information that would reverse the outage. Enter journalist Christina Sandberg, who has a feeling her ex, William is somehow involved in the whole thing. William, a cyber security expert, is indeed involved, as a matter of fact he’s in the whole mess up to his neck, trying to find his missing daughter and to save the country in one fell swoop. There’s enough code breaking, big government secret stuff in here to please fans of Dan Brown and Steve Berry
