His holiday with his family has just begun, but a phone call sends Martin Beck packing off to Budapest, where a boorish journalist has vanished without a trace. With the aid of the coolly efficient local police, who do business while soaking at the public baths, Beck must troll about in the Eastern Europe underworld for a man nobody knows—while he is at the risk of vanishing along with his quarry.
The Man Who Went Up in Smoke gives us the dedicated Beck at his most engaging: indulging in the sumptuous Hungarian cuisine, longing for a decent cigarette, and evading a predatory nymphet, even as he pursues a case whose international boundaries grow with every new clue.
Remember that old tv show "Dragnet", that choppy way Joe Friday used to talk in the intro? "This is the city: Los Angeles, California. It is a big city, with lots of people. Some of them are good. Some of them are up to no good. That's where I come in." Well this book's writing is exactly like that.
Martin Becks semester blir förkortad när den svenske journalisten Alf Matsson plötsligt försvinner. Redaktionsledningen hotar att avslöja information som skulle vara generande för svenska regeringen. Eftersom Matsson senast sågs i Ungern åker Beck dit. Beck imponeras av det effektiva socialistiska landet, som dock hotas av några västtyska turistguider som handlar med narkotika och försöker röja Beck ur vägen. Han räddas av den ungerska polisen och kan återvända till Sverige där den verklige mördaren finns.
