The second 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 Who Went Up in Smoke' starts as
Martin Beck has just begun his holiday: an August spent with his
family on a small island off the coast of Sweden. But when a
neighbour gets a phone call, Beck finds himself packed off to
Budapest, where a boorish journalist has vanished without a trace.
Instead of passing leisurely sun-filled days with his children,
Beck must troll about in the Eastern Europe underworld for a man
nobody knows, with the aid of the coolly efficient local police,
who do business while soaking at the public baths - and at the risk
of vanishing along with his quarry.
