A gripping crime thriller in which a wave of murders shakes the intelligence services of Europe and the United States. Each victim is a woman. Each death is connected to fire. When the London branch of the Agency for Investigation and Prevention is confronted with another murder - this time in the very heart of the city - seasoned agent Peter Wiley is urgently called back from vacation. At his side is Linda Smith, a gifted young investigator with a striking presence and instincts that defy logic.
Haunted by memories he cannot escape, Peter is pulled into a case that threatens not only his life, but everything he believes in. As danger closes in, the hunt for a killer turns into a descent through fire, memory, and the thin line between truth and madness. Guided by ancient symbols, elusive memories, and impossible coincidences, the investigators come to realize: the deeper they go, the closer the mystery cuts - and the more personal it becomes.
The Firewalker is a hypnotic journey into myth, trauma, and belief - where the fire reveals more than it destroys. What the critics say:"Bistra Spasova has created a new and contemporary type of two-layer narrative. She is present both as storyteller and literary interpreter - a rare gift. Her language is rich and visual, the structure multilayered, the themes deeply philosophical. In my view, this is a truly modern work of art."- Prof.
