Review
‘Superbly well done. It stars the gloomy head of homicide, Martin Beck, and is stunning right up to the last paragraph. The authors are ready for the great Simenon.’ New York Magazine
‘The tale proceeds at a fast clip, inventive and tantalizing as the pieces of the puzzle alternately fit together and fly apart...“The Fire Engine that Disappeared” is downright fascinating.’ Publishers Weekly
'A gripping read, brilliantly plotted and with frequent moments of hilarity or tenderness.' The Guardian
Praise for Sjowall & Wahloo:
‘Plots are interesting as well as realistic, the various homicide men are admirably characterised, and the amused, sarcastic comments on modern Sweden are a delight.’ Sunday Times
‘The writing is elegant and surprisingly humorous – if you haven’t come across Beck before, you’re in for a treat.’ Guardian
‘One of the most authentic, gripping and profound collections of police procedurals ever accomplished.’nMichael Connelly
