A Man of Action…The life of a paid mercenary makes sense to Special Forces Officer Winslow Grange. The jungles of South America are nothing that the former Green Beret can’t handle. A woman’s heart, however – that’s dangerous territory. Back in Texas, Grange’s biggest problem was avoiding Peg Larson and all the complications of being attracted to a live-in employee.Now Grange needs all his training to help regain control of a tiny South American nation and, when Peg arrives unannounced, she’s a distraction he can’t avoid. If she breaks through his armour, traversing the wilds of the Amazon will be easier than defending himself against her feminine charms…

The excellent fifth classic installment in the Martin Beck detective series from the 1960s – the novels that have inspired all Scandinavian crime fiction.Widely recognised as the greatest masterpieces of crime fiction ever written, these are the original detective stories that pioneered the detective genre.Gunvald Larsson sits carefully observing the dingy Stockholm apartment of a man under police surveillance. He looks at his watch: nine minutes past eleven in the evening. He yawns, slapping his arms to keep warm. At the same moment the house explodes, killing at least three people.Chief Inspector Martin Beck and his men don't suspect arson or murder until they discover a peculiar circumstance and a link is established between the explosion and a suicide committed that same day, in which the dead man left a note consisting of just two words: Martin Beck.Written in the 1960s, they are the work of Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo – a husband and wife team from Sweden. The ten novels follow the fortunes of the detective Martin Beck, whose enigmatic, taciturn character has inspired countless other policemen in crime fiction. The novels can be read separately, but do follow a chronological order, so the reader can become familiar with the characters and develop a loyalty to the series. Each book has a new introduction in order to help bring these books to a new audience.
