65. Maj Sjöwall & Per Wahlöö - The Abominable Man


The 7th and best so far. I like the way they fit different (in this case a very nondescript one) detectives around Martin Beck.

A book about two abominable men; one a brutal old style soldier become policeman after the war bully; the other one of his victims who murders him and goes on a rampant killing spree against anyone (including Beck who is nearly killed) associated with the police.

More focussed and less diffuse (although the diffuseness can be fun) than some of the books. Only three more to go.
