The Man Who Went Up in Smoke: A Martin Beck Police Mystery
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
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.

- content: The husband-and-wife writing duo Wahlšš and Sjšwall were popular in the 1970s. In this mystery Inspector Martin Beck of the Stockholm Homicide Squad investigates the disappearance of a well-known Swedish journalist in Budapest. Absent from his native Stockholm, Beck encounters not only the drama of the Eastern European underworld and international crime, but also a rich travel experience as he, by necessity, delves into Hungarian life. The depth of Tom Weiner's masculine timbre accurately brings the flawed, depressed Beck to the mind's eye. Weiner's oft-used monotone is reminiscent of early noir cinema, and he skillfully employs a lightness of tone when vocalizing women's voices. However, the listener might enjoy the realism of this procedural fractionally more if it were delivered by a narrator with a Scandinavian accent. A.W. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
