Many of you are fans of Scandinavian crime fiction such as Mankell’s Wallander, Jo Nesbø’s Harry Hole and the girl with the dragon tattoo. But if you haven’t discovered Martin Beck, it’s time. There is a series of ten crime fiction written in the 60’s and early 70’s by a team of writers named Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö that are arguably the origin of modern police procedurals. The side stories for the characters evolve over time, so it is best to read these in order.
