Hello Everyone,

Is anyone familiar with Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö's Martin Beck series? Are they at all noirish, or are they more mainstream mystery? I know there are 10 novels in the series collectively titled THE STORY OF A CRIME. Does this mean that the individual novels are part of a larger single story arc or is the series title more symbolic than literal?

Thanks! Harry
