Ansiktet var så fullständigt uttryckslöst att bilden måste härröra från en fotoautomat.- Alf Matsson har försvunnit, sa mannen med stor emfas.- Jaså. Och efterlysningarna har inte gett något resultat?- Det har inte sänts ut någon efterlysning. Och det skall inte bli någon heller, sa mannen fånstirrande. Förord av Roslund & Hellström. Innehåller även extra material om bokens tillkomst. Mellan åren 1965 och 1975 skrev Maj Sjöwall och Per Wahlöö tio polisromaner i boksviten Roman om ett brott. Med böckerna om Martin Beck och hans kollegor lade de grunden för den moderna kriminalromanen - böcker som sedan dess varit en central inspirationskälla för en lång rad av världens främsta kriminalförfattare.
In an unnamed country, in an unnamed year sometime in the future, Chief Inspector Jensen of the Sixteenth Division is called in after the publishers controlling the entire country's newspapers and magazines receive a threat to blow up their building, in retaliation for a murder they are accused of committing. The building is evacuated, but the bomb fails to explode and Jensen is given seven days in which to track down the letter writer. Jensen has never had a case he could not solve before, but as his investigation into the identity of the letter writer begins it soon becomes clear that the directors of the publishers have their own secrets, not least the identity of the 'Special Department' on the thirty first floor; the only department not permitted to be evacuated after the bomb threat.
Hon såg ut att vara åtta eller nio år och bar på en rödrutig skolväska. Hon var klädd i kort röd kjol, randig tröja och röd kofta med för korta ärmar. På fötterna hade hon svarta träskor som kom hennes långa smala ben att verka ännu längre och smalare. När hon kom ut på trottoaren svängde hon åt vänster och började långsamt gå gatan fram med sänkt huvud. Mannen på balkongen följde henne med blicken. Förord av Jo Nesbø.

Han hade inte ens brytt sig om att fråga vad saken gällde. Antagligen narkotika. Allting tycktes gälla narkotika i dessa dagar. Nu hade bevakningen pågått i tio dygn och det enda vederbörande råkat ut för var ett fnask och två halvbuteljer renat. Gunvald Larsson tittade på klockan. Nio minuter över elva. Åtta minuter kvar. Han gäspade och lyfte armarna för att ta en åkarbrasa. Just i det ögonblicket exploderade huset. Förord av Leif GW Persson. Innehåller även extra material om bokens tillkomst.

The stunning eighth installment in the Martin Beck mystery series by the renowned Swedish crime writing duo is a masterful take on a classic locked room mystery. With an introduction by Michael Connelly: "One of the most authentic, gripping, and profound collections of police procedurals ever accomplished." A young blonde in sunglasses robs a bank and kills a hapless citizen. Across town, a corpse with a bullet shot through its heart is found in a locked room-with no gun at the scene. The crimes seem disparate, but to Martin Beck they are two pieces of the same puzzle, and solving it becomes the one way he can escape the pains of his failed marriage and the lingering effects of a near-fatal bullet wound. Exploring the ramifications of egotism and intellect, luck and accident, this tour de force of detection bears the unmistakable substance and gravity of real life.
