Description
A chilling crime novel from the 1960s, 'The Laughing Policeman' is the fourth book in the Martin Beck series by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö. Written during this period of Scandinavian crime writing's formative years, it has had a lasting impact on the genre. On a cold and rainy night in Stockholm, nine bus riders are brutally gunned down by an unknown assassin. The police investigation that follows reveals a complex web of motives and suspects, as Martin Beck seeks to unravel the truth behind this seemingly random crime. With its well-crafted plot and vivid portrayal of 1960s Stockholm's underworld, 'The Laughing Policeman' is a gripping read. This novel can be enjoyed on its own, but reading it in chronological order with the other books in the series provides the best understanding of Martin Beck's character development and the intricate world he inhabits.
