Roseanna by Maj Sjowall
The naked body of a young woman is dredged up from a Swedish canal. She has been sexually assaulted and strangled. But no one has reported her missing and Martin Beck of the Stockholm homicide squad can find no clue to her identity. But then patience, a little luck and good, honest police work turn up a broken-down pleasure boat, information from Nebraska and some tourist's photographs, and gradually Beck's investigation comes to its troubling conclusion.
'Sjowall and Wahloo used their excellent Martin Beck series, begun in 1965, to explore Swedish society as much as to construct distinctive police procedural page-turners' -- THE TIMES
Maj Sjowall (1935--) and Per Wahloo (1926-75) were husband and wife. They were both committed Marxists and, between 1965 and 1975, they collaborated on ten mysteries featuring Martin Beck. Four of the books have been made into films, most famously The Laughing Policeman, which starred Walter Matthau. Maj Sjowall (1935--) and Per Wahloo (1926-75) were husband and wife.
