The Man with the Silver Saab

The third novel in Alexander McCall Smith's new DETECTIVE VARG series...

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Man with the Silver Saab is the third book in Alexander McCall Smith's new Detective Varg series.

Perplexing, unfathomable, and perhaps unimportant, the cases that Malmö's Department of Sensitive Crimes take on will test them to their limits.

Life — and crime — is not always as it seems for Ulf Varg and the other fearless detectives in Malmö's Department of Sensitive Crimes. There are always surprising new cases to take on, and the latest batch is no exception. And that's not to mention Ulf's struggle to contain his feelings for his colleague Anna Bengsdotter. All in all, things are distinctly difficult in Malmö, and it seems up to Ulf and the Department to set them right.

"McCall Smith's continuing warm-heartedness makes Ulf such unfailingly good company" Reader's Digest

"Like AA Milne meets Karl Ove Knausgaard" Financial Times

"Wonderfully soothing and relaxing" Daily Telegraph
