Description

In this second installment of Perssonâ€™s trilogy of police procedurals featuring the "small, fat and primitive" Evert BÃ¤ckstrÃ¶m, the grand masterâ€™s most appallingly repulsive (and funniest) character is finally given his fifteen minutes of fame by way of his patented combination of laziness, luck, and an unbelievable sense of timing.

A seemingly ordinary murder puzzles BÃ¤ckstrÃ¶m, who is struggling with strict orders from his doctor to lead a healthier life.

His gut feeling proves him right: within days, his team has another murder linked to the first on their hands, and reports of alleged ties to a Securicor heist gone out of control, killing two.

The nation needs a hero, and the newly appointed head of the VÃ¤sterort police force Anna Holt needs somebody to kill the dragon for her.

Who better to heed to the task than Evert BÃ¤ckstrÃ¶m: self-sufficient, ostentatious, devoid of moral, Hawaii shirt-clad, and, latterly, armed?
