Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Very Good-. 1st Vintage Printing. Spine slightly slanted, a bit creased, a little edge wear and rubbing, sticker residue on back cover. A little tanning but text is clean and unmarked. A nice copy. ; Translated from the Swedish by Joan Tate. ; 6¾" - 7¾" Tall; 218 pages; "The cunning incendiary device that blew the roof off a Stockholm apartment house one cold winter night not only interrupted the small, peaceful orgy underway inside, it nearly took the lives of the building's 11 occupants. And if one of police commissioner Martin Beck's colleagues hadn't been on the scene, the explosion would have led to a major catastrophe since - for reasons nobody could satisfactorily explain - the fire department didn't arrive until too late. How could a regulation-sized ladder truck vanish in the center of Stockholm? What, if anything, did the explosion have to do with the peculiar death earlier that day of a 46-year-old bachelor whose cryptic suicide note consisted of only two words: 'Martin Beck'?".
