With a new introduction by Jonathan Franzen: \"I've read \u003ci\u003eThe Laughing Policeman\u003c\/i\u003e six or eight times. Each time I reach the final twist on the final page, I shiver afresh.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e On a cold and rainy Stockholm night, nine bus riders are gunned down by a mysterious assassin. The press portrays it as a freak attack and dubs the killer a madman. But Superintendent Martin Beck thinks otherwise--one of his most ambitious young detectives was among those killed--and he suspects it was more than coincidence. Working on a hunch, Beck seeks out the girlfriend of the murdered detective, and with her help Beck reconstructs the steps that led to his murder. The police comb the country for the killer, only to find that this attack may be connected to a case that has been unsolved for years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maj Sjowall, Per Wahloo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0307390500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307390509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Crime\/Black Lizard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.22w x 0.65d","brand":"Maj Sjowall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048479158527,"sku":"9780307390509","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfd9d317-d623-461b-a38d-ab35f6d3f16a.jpg?v=1684996001","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-laughing-policeman-maj-sjowall-9780307390509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
