About the Book

Martin Beck faces one of the greatest challenges of his professional life when his investigation unearths evidence of police corruption and brutality in this incredible seventh novel in the Martin Beck mystery series. The bloody murder of a police captain in his hospital room exposes the particularly unsavory history of a man who spent forty years practicing a horribly brutal brand of strong-arm police work. Nonetheless, Martin Beck and his colleagues scour Stockholm for the murderer, a demented and deadly rifleman. As Beck is gripped by an increasing feeling of impending danger, his investigation unearths evidence of police corruption. That's when an even stronger sense of responsibility, and something like shame, urges him into taking a series of drastic steps, which lead to a shocking disaster.

Review :
"A taut, gripping narrative...A book you won't--easily--put down." -- "Chicago Tribune" "The Martin Beck books are exemplary police procedurals...The Abominable Man is worthy of its predecessors in this much admired series." -- "Washington Post" "Tom Weiner perfects the gravelly rumble of the hard-boiled but intellectual Beck as he makes his way through the dangerous case. Sjöwall's and Wahlöö's descriptive prose, in tandem with Weiner's narration, enlivens the Scandinavian imagery, as well as the characters' often-sordid surroundings...Gripping tension leads to a bleak and horrifying disaster but leaves us awaiting more from this crime series." -- "AudioFile" "The first great series of police thrillers...they caught the color of the political times and are above all truly exciting." -- "Michael Ondaatje, New York Times Bestselling author"
