55. Maj Sjöwall & Per Wahlöö - The Man Who Went Up In Smoke


The 2nd book in the series.

Wonderful descriptions of Budapest, when Beck sent over there and very much a spy story while he is there (set in the Cold War).

The return to Stockholm did less for me; it became apparent that the guy he was sent to trace in Hungary never went there and was substituted by one of his 'friends'. His fate is in fact in the title.

Still, it has inspired our next holiday...
