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.

Julie,

I don't really want your N28 Caruthers unless it has white borders, a fresh appearance, exceptional contrast and four sharp corners. I will simply not accept anything but the best example in the hobby. Thanks anyway.

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)

No the n28 caruthers is a pretty nice card; corners are rounded and a couple of very slight spots on the white front. No wrinkles, nice clear picture.

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.)

Maj never wrote any more. She is exactly my age (give or take a few months).

"The Laughing Policeman," a middle novel, won the Golden Dagger award as best mystery of the year. All of the books are intelligent, and the characters are interesting. If you don't like murder mysteries, you probably wouldn't like any of them.

MW came up with most of this information about 2 hours before Ben (who actually went to a bookstore and found one of their books--but then, he had MW's "a Swedish author" to prompt him.)

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!
