Steven Mackintosh and Neil Pearson return as Martin Beck and Lennart Kollberg in the Swedish detective series that inspired a generation of crime writers.
In The Abominable Man, Martin Beck is called in to work in the middle of the night to see the butchered body of a senior policeman. He begins to investigate, dogged by a sense that catastrophe is imminent and once again, his instinct is correct.
