Lovely new edition by Black Lizard. This Swedish writing duo wrote ten mysteries featuring detective Martin Beck in the sixties and seventies. Henning Mankell, Michael Connelly, Ian Rankin, Donn Leon and countless others owe a debt of gratitude to these writers. These books are about character, and about the social and personal ramifications of crime. In Roseanna, the first of the series, Beck becomes obsessed with a seemingly unsolvable crime-- a naked, unidentifiable woman dredged up from the bottom of a lake.
