I hereby declare the contest null and void, unless you fellas can come to some sort of agreement. MW: what SORT of a Swedish author? 1452 is the year Richard III was born. |

well the Caruthers is even nicer...(Ben sold me a nice '53 Paige, and when I told him I had one that was so full of wrinkles, even Mark Macrae wouldn't give me a cent for it, he said he wanted it, so he'd have at least SOME Paige) |

You know I am not a condition conscious collector. I was just making light of the fact that the co-winners of this contest are on very different levels in collecting...MW probably doesn't need anything better than an sgc 96 |

married Per Wahloo (again, a missing umnlaut) in 1965. As sort of part of their getting married, they agreed to write a series of 10 murder mysteries (Maj had been a poet, Per a newspaperman--who had written one DREADFUL mystery), police procedurals, the protagonist being one Martin beck, the chief of detectives of the Stockholm police. While Martin Beck slowly found his way to salvation (better health, a woman he loved, etc), Stockholm, in fact all of Sweden, was going to the dogs. This sociological aspect was in ALL of the novels--again, part of their agreement. In 1975, right after they finished their last novel, Wahloo died of "pancreatic disease." (I don't know if this means cancer of not.) |

Since nobody had the complete answer initially. And yes, I did find books by sjowall at a book store, but only AFTER I found what I was looking for! |
