The third book in the classic Martin Beck detective series from the
1960s - the novels that shaped the future of Scandinavian crime
writing. Hugely acclaimed, the Martin Beck series were the original
Scandinavian crime novels and have inspired the writings of Stieg
Larsson, Henning Mankell and Jo Nesbo. Written in the 1960s, 10
books completed in 10 years, they are the work of Maj Sjoewall and
Per Wahloeoe - a husband and wife team from Sweden. They follow the
fortunes of the detective Martin Beck, whose enigmatic, taciturn
character has inspired countless other policemen in crime fiction;
without his creation Ian Rankin's John Rebus or Henning Mankell's
Kurt Wallander may never have been conceived. The novels can be
read separately, but are best read in chronological order, so the
reader can follow the characters' development and get drawn into
the series as a whole. 'The Man on the Balcony' balances the most
inhuman of crimes with the humanity of the men who must solve it -
resulting in a police procedural that is as moving and credible as
it is enthralling.
