Set in Stockholm, Sweden, this is the tenth and final installment in the fabulous Martin Beck series of detective novels by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö. Martin has finally left his wife and taken up with a charming new woman. Sweden is usually perceived as an eternally cold country, but in these thrillers, Sweden is hot, hot, hot! Martin and his colleagues would love to take their long annual vacations but have to stay in town to prepare for the visit of an American senator. The policemen thwart the foreign terrorists, who’ve set up shop in Stockholm and are intent on assassination. Sadly, Martin Beck and his associates are unable to stop a disaffected domestic assassin. Although the authors took turns writing alternate chapters, transitions between them are seamless.--Barb P.
