The eighth classic installment in this genre-changing Martin Beck series of novels starring Detective Inspector Martin Beck is a masterful take on a classic locked-room mystery.
A young blonde in sunglasses robs a bank and kills a hapless citizen. Across town, a corpse with a bullet shot through its heart is found in a locked room—with no gun at the scene. The crimes seem disparate, but to Martin Beck they are two pieces of the same puzzle, and solving it becomes the one way he can escape the pains of his failed marriage and the lingering effects of a near-fatal bullet wound. Exploring the ramifications of egotism and intellect, luck and accident, this tour de force of detection bears the unmistakable substance and gravity of real life.

“Admirers of the series—and who is not an admirer?—will find the usual deftness, the fine shades of characters.”
(New York Times )“The Swedish husband and wife team who have yet to write a dull book—and have the prizes to prove it—again provide supercop Martin Beck with an impossible murder to solve…Don’t miss any of it.”
(Chicago Tribune)“The Wahlöös best—their densest in person and place, their most penetrating in sociology and psychology.”
(Judith Crist)“The Locked Room is flat out one of my favorites in the series. I am blown away by the authors’ wonderful and original take on a standard mystery contraption—a locked room murder. I am in awe of the novel as a showcase of Martin Beck at his brooding best.”
(Michael Connelly)
