Lennart Kollberg

Lennart Kollberg is most often described as a sensualist; he loves food, loves his beautiful wife.

He is a family man who is as happy at home as Martin Beck is unhappy. Outwardly fat and jovial, he is often underestimated.

For a heavy man he is surprisingly athletic. He is also compassionate, bright, an excellent policeman and Beck’s best friend. Beck is at his best when working with Kollberg; he is the one Beck relies on to ask the right questions.

Having once shot someone dead by accident, Kollberg refuses to carry a gun. He grows increasingly disenchanted with life as a policeman as the series goes on
