3 journalers for this copy...
"The final novel in the Martin Beck mystery series by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö is a masterful, all consuming tale that rushes toward a thrilling, unexpected climax.
An American senator is visiting Stockholm and Martin Beck must lead a team to protect him from an international gang of terrorists. However, in the midst of the fervor created by the diplomatic visit, a young, peace-loving woman is accused of robbing a bank. Beck is determined to prove her innocence, but gets trapped in the maze of police bureaucracy. To complicate matters a millionaire pornographer has been bludgeoned to death in his own bathtub. Filled with the twists and turns and the pulse pounding excitement that are the hallmarks of the Martin Beck novels, The Terrorists is the stunning conclusion to the incredible series that changed crime fiction forever."

Thanks for the extra book, aetm! I will take a look and will either read it and make it available or else I will release it in some way, shape or form. Thank you!
I have decided to make this one available, since it is the last in a series and I prefer to read mystery series in order. I know I won't get to the others anytime soon, so I will let another reader enjoy this!
This book is going out to BookCrosser Andrea99 as part of a trade. Enjoy!

This is actually a very good read! Starts off with a murder, a bank robbery that wasn't, and then leads into the attempted assassination of a US Senator on a foreign visit....... from both sides of the attempt, being the terrorists planning the attempt and the local Police's plans to prevent it. There's a weird random link between the bank robbery that wasn't and the attempted assassination and the will they, won't they catch the assassin at the end. It's a good read!
