Book Description
Thanks to Agaton Sax's incredible investigation abilities, a plot to poison Scotland Yard's Inspector Lispington is foiled and an attack on the detective's own home ends up with the capture of two crooked criminals. But where did the criminals come from? What were they looking for? And what could possibly drive them to sabotage Lispington's muffins? Unable to turn a blind eye to the crimes committed, Sweden's finest detective sets out to follow the clues the criminals have left behind, unravelling the mystery that's been thrust upon him... The Agaton Sax series of books were first published in Sweden, later being translated into English and printed with illustrations by much-loved artist Quentin Blake (perhaps best known for his work on the books of Roald Dahl). The English translations became immensely popular, achieving the status of the most re-issued mystery & detective series in the history of Nordic children's literature. Now, after many years out of print, Oak Tree Books is proud to publish the entire Agaton Sax series, newly translated and illustrated for the next generation. This new collection includes the eleventh book which has never before been released in English.

Encyclopedia of Nordic Crime Fiction
Author: Mitzi M. Brunsdale
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476622779
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 572
Book Description
Since the late 1960s, the novels of Sjowall and Wahloo's Martin Beck detective series, along with the works of Henning Mankell, Hakan Nesser and Stieg Larsson, have sparked an explosion of Nordic crime fiction--grim police procedurals treating urgent sociopolitical issues affecting the contemporary world. Steeped in noir techniques and viewpoints, many of these novels are reaching international audiences through film and television adaptations. This reference guide introduces the world of Nordic crime fiction to English-speaking readers. Caught between the demands of conscience and societal strictures, the detectives in these stories--like the heroes of Norse mythology--know that they and their world must perish, but fight on regardless of cost. At a time of bleak eventualities, Nordic crime fiction interprets the bitter end as a celebration of the indomitable human spirit.
