(Paperback - 1st Vintage crime/Black Lizard ed)
With its wonderfully observed lawmen (including the inimitable Martin Beck), its brilliantly rendered felons and their murky Stockholm underworld, and its deftly engineered plot, The Laughing Policeman is a classic of the police procedural and "must reading for anyone who claims to be [a student] of the best detective fiction" (Saturday Review).
Nine people are brutally murdered on a double-decker bus. The clues suggest a motiveless crime of violence. Voted best mystery novel of 1970.
