Their plots are second to none."— Val McDermid “Magically successful, a series of crime novels you shouldn't miss.”— Minneapolis Tribune “It's hard to think of any other thriller writers (apart from Simenon perhaps) who can capture so much of a society in a couple of hundred pages and yet still hold true to the thriller form.”— Sean and Nicci French “One of the most authentic, gripping and profound collection of police procedurals ever accomplished.”— Michael Connelly Product Description The shocking sixth novel in the Martin Beck mystery series by the internationally renowned crime writing duo by Maj Sj?wall and Per Wahl??, finds Beck investigating a brutal assassination.
