Review
"The first great series of police thrillers. . . . Truly exciting."--Michael Ondaatje"Hauntingly effective storytelling."--"The New York Times Book Review""Sjowall and Wahloo write unsparingly and unswervingly. . . . Their plots are second to none."--Val McDermid"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

About the Author
Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo, her husband and coauthor, wrote ten Martin Beck mysteries. They plotted and researched each book together then wrote alternate chapters. The books were written over a ten year period and carefully planned to allow for gradual character development and evolving social commentary as the series continued.Mr Wahloo, who died in 1975, was a reporter for several Swedish newspapers and magazines and wrote numerous radio and television plays, film scripts, short stories, and novels. Maj Sjowall is also a poet.
