Roseanna - Maj Sjwall

With a New Introduction by Henning Mankell. The masterful first novel in the Martin Beck series of mysteries by the internationally
renowned crime writing duo Maj Sjwall and Per Wahl ("the best writers of police procedurals in the world"), finds Beck hunting for the
murderer of a lonely traveler.
On a July afternoon, a young woman's body is dredged
from Sweden's beautiful Lake Vattern. With no clues Beck begins an investigation
not only to uncover a murderer but also to discover who the victim was. Three months
later, all Beck knows is that her name was Roseanna and that she could have been
strangled by any one of eighty-five people on a cruise. As the melancholic Beck narrows
the list of suspects, he is drawn increasingly to the enigma of the victim, a free-spirited
traveler with a penchant for casual sex, and to the psychopathology of a murderer
with a distinctive--indeed, terrifying--sense of propriety.
