Maj Sjöwall Book order (chronological)

When Viktor Palmgren, a powerful Swedish industrialist is shot during his after-dinner speech in the luxurious Hotel Savoy, it sends a shiver down the spine of the international money markets and puts the tiny town of Malmo on edge. However, no one in the restaurant, not even the victim before his death, was able to identify the gunman, and local police were sheepishly baffled. Beck takes over the scene and finds a web of vice so despicable that it's hard to imagine who "wouldn't "want Palmgren dead, but that doesn't stop him and his team of dedicated detectives from tackling one of their most intriguing cases yet.

With its authentically rendered settings and vividly realized characters, and its command over the intricately interwoven details of police detection, Roseanna is a masterpiece of suspense and sadness by the Authors of the Laughing Policeman and The Locked Room. Originally published in 1965.

Die Stockholmer Polizei fahndet auf Hochtouren nach dem Sexualstraftäter – doch der Erfolg bleibt aus. Um dem Mörder auf die Spur zu kommen, müssen sich Kommissar Martin Beck und seine Kollegen auf die Hilfe eines Handtaschendiebs verlassen, der in der Nähe des Tatorts eine Frau überfallen und den Triebtäter möglicherweise gesehen hat. Tatsächlich liefert der Mann eine Beschreibung, aber die trifft auf Tausende von Stockholmer Bürgern zu... Dies ist der dritte Band der weltberühmten Serie um den schwedischen Kommissar Martin Beck. In neuer Übersetzung und mit einem Vorwort von Jo Nesbø.

Twee ogenschijnlijk apart staande en onoplosbaar lijkende gevallen: een vrouw die op klaarlichte dag in haar eentje een bankoverval pleegt en een eenzame zonderling die dood wordt aangetroffen in een hermetisch gesloten kamer.

Hoofdinspecteur Martin Beck krijgt te maken met drie zaken: een bankoverval door een jong meisje, de moord op een filmproducer en het nemen van veiligheidsmaatregelen bij het bezoek van een antipathieke Amerikaanse senator.

Jahrelang hat der Bankmanager Carl-Ulrik Borg auf diesen Anruf gewartet, aber als er ihn erreicht, wird er nervös. Sein 22jähriger Sohn Kai zitiert ihn in das Restaurant Svenssons. Kai handelt nicht nur aus freien Stücken: Jemand hat ihm die Handy-Nummer seines Vaters gegeben und ihm ein Wahrheitsserum zugespielt, mit der er den verschlossenen Mann ausfragen will. Doch tatsächlich handelt es sich nicht um ein Wahrheitsserum, sondern um ein Aphrodisaikum. Ein Fotograf will kompromittierende Fotos von Borg und seinem als Frau verkleideten Sohn machen.

When one of Oslo’s hottest celebrity chefs is murdered, Hanne Wilhelmsen is called back into action in “a nearly pitch-perfect procedural layered over a moving exploration of rejection and abandonment” (Booklist) in the sixth installment of the award-winning series from Norway’s #1 bestselling female crime writer. On a cold December evening, celebrity chef Brede Ziegler is discovered stabbed to death on the steps of Oslo’s police headquarters, sending a shock wave through the city’s hip in-crowd. Chef Ziegler had many famous associates and more than a few enemies among them. Was his murder a random act of violence or did someone want him dead? Police investigator Billy T. is stymied by conflicting information about the kind of man Ziegler was. It seems nobody really knew him: not his glamorous wife, his business partner, nor the editor of his memoir-in-progress. The case is hopeless until Hanne Wilhelmsen returns to Oslo after a six-month stay in Italy and teams up with Billy T. Working together, they are pulled deep into the nefarious world inhabited by Ziegler. Was he at all the chef he claimed to be? And can those who knew him be trusted? In the fabulous No Echo, “transcripts of witness statements alternate with Anne Holt’s penetrating psychological analysis of human desires, weaknesses, and essential decency, unveiling unexpected dimensions of her series characters” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
