An Edgar Award-winning novel of mass murder in Stockholm.
One blustery November evening eight occupants of a Stockholm bus are gunned down - one a policeman. Eight people together purely by coincidence - perhaps. But why was that policeman - a solitary and ambitious man - on that bus? The Laughing Policeman won the Edgar Award in 1971 - the only translated novel ever to do so.
