Saturday Drama The Martin Beck Killings Beck's Sweden

From Stockholm to Motala, journey through Beck's Sweden accompanied by quotes from the books.

  • “Melting snow from the rooftops fell in heavy drops on his patrolman’s hat and the slush squeaked on his galoshes.â€
  • "It had begun to snow at two o’clock and by now the ground was covered with a blanket of snow several inches thick"
  • "Motala is a medium sized Swedish city in the province of Ostergotland at the Northern end of Lake Vattern."
  • "When the boat passed Lake Vattern, during the night watch, there were only three people who were definitely awake."
  • "Transportation to and from the city was still maintained by one of the few remaining old steamers."
  • "We’re walking through the centre of town, over the main bridge and now he’s wandering around in the old city."
  • "When Bengtsson had turned the corner, Stenstrom left and followed him."
  • "Stenstrom and Kollberg took turns following the man’s uneventful and highly regimented life."
  • "He just keeps going up and down the streets. He never stops and never looks around."
  • “Monday. Snow. Wind. Bitter cold.â€
  • "The fat man introduced himself and let loose a gushing stream of words on the beauty of the archipelago."
