Written by Swedish husband and wife team Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö between 1965-1975, the ten-book series set a gold standard for all subsequent Scandanavian crime fiction. Long before Kurt Wallander or Harry Hole, Beck was the original flawed policeman, working with a motley collection of colleagues to uncover the cruelty and injustice lurking beneath the surface of Sweden's seemingly liberal, democratic society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis complete collection includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eRoseanna\u003c\/i\u003e (1965) — translated by Lois Roth and dramatised by Jennifer Howarth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Went Up in Smoke\u003c\/i\u003e (1966) — translated by Joan Tate and dramatised by Katie Hims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Man on the Balcony\u003c\/i\u003e (1967) — translated by Alan Blair and dramatised by Katie Hims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Laughing Policeman\u003c\/i\u003e (1968) — translated by Alan Blair and dramatised by Jennifer Howarth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Fire Engine That Disappeared\u003c\/i\u003e (1969) — translated by Joan Tate and dramatised by Katie Hims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eMurder at the Savoy\u003c\/i\u003e (1970) — translated by Amy and Ken Knoespel and dramatised by Jennifer Howarth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Abominable Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1971) — translated by Thomas Teal and dramatised by Katie Hims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Locked Room\u003c\/i\u003e (1972) — translated by Alan Blair and dramatised by Jennifer Howarth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eCop Killer\u003c\/i\u003e (1974) — translated by Thomas Teal and dramatised by Jennifer Howarth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Terrorists\u003c\/i\u003e (1975) — translated by Joan Tate and dramatised by Katie Hims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Random House UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114090021104,"sku":"2940169129151","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169129151_p0.jpg?v=1763673385","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169129151","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
