The collision of a gangster, a vicar, and a receptionist yields hilarious results in this madcap novel about modern values from a #1 international bestselling author."Comic genius. . . . This book is the funniest, most irreligious fantasy since The Book of Mormon. . . . Jonasson just gets better and better. Highly recommended." —Daily Express (UK)Killer-for-hire Anders is fresh out of prison and trying to keep his head down when he meets two unlikely new business partners at a one-star hotel: one, an atheist former Protestant vicar fired from her church, and the other the hotel''s receptionist, the ruined grandson of an ex-millionaire. Together they cook up an idea for an enterprising venture involving Swedish gangsters that is set to make them all a fortune—until, to everyone''s surprise, Anders finds Jesus. It was the perfect plan—except for Hitman Anders''s curiosity about the meaning of it all. In conversations with the vicar, he turns to Jesus and, against all odds, Jesus answers him! Anders''s sudden interest in religion might be good for his soul, but it''s not good for business, and the vicar and the receptionist have to find a new plan, quick.As wildly funny and unexpected as Jonasson''s previous bestselling novels, Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All is a zany, feel-good adventure story that tenderly and hilariously explores belief, redemption, and the fact that it''s never too late to start again."Enormous fun. . . . The subversive charm of it lies in the hints that God, or the Universe or whatever, is smarter and funnier than any of us." —The Times (UK)"Jonasson matches the irreverence of his debut The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared. . . . It''s a thrilling ride." —Financial Times (UK)"Irreverent and fun." —Irish Examiner - E-bokEngelska, 2019

The hysterical, clever, and unforgettable sequel to Jonas Jonasson’s international bestseller The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared.
He''s back. Even older. Even funnier.
It all begins with a hot air balloon trip and three bottles of champagne. Allan and Julius are ready for some spectacular views, but they’re not expecting to land in the sea and be rescued by a North Korean ship, and they could never have imagined that the captain of the ship would be harboring a suitcase full of contraband uranium, on a nuclear weapons mission for Kim Jong-un. Yikes!
Soon Allan and Julius are at the center of a complex diplomatic crisis involving world figures from the Swedish foreign minister to Angela Merkel and President Trump. Needless to say, things are about to get very, very complicated.
Another hilarious, witty, and entertaining novel from bestselling author Jonas Jonasson that will have readers howling out-loud at the escapades and misfortunes of its beloved hundred-year-old hero Allan Karlsson and his irresistible sidekick Julius.

A farmhouse mysteriously goes up in flames with someone trapped inside and a community is never the same in the aftermath-both a page-turning whodunit and a deeply touching coming-of-age story by one of Sweden's top criminologists and "a rising star in Scandinavian crime fiction" (Kirkus Reviews)
"The quintessential crime novel-I can't recommend it highly enough."-Angie Kim, author of Happiness Falls
"Carlsson is the finest crime writer we have in Sweden."-David Lagercrantz, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl in the Spider's Web and other novels in Stieg Larsson's Millennium series
On a cold November night, a farmhouse burns to the ground. Inside a young woman is found dead-not from the fire but murdered. To the people in the rural community of Marbäck, this becomes a reference point: a before and after. For ten-year-old Isak Nyqvist, it sets in motion something he cannot control, igniting his future into an unpredictable inferno.
The police focus their attention on Edvard Christensson, the boyfriend of the murdered woman and Isak's beloved uncle. After a quick investigation, Edvard is found guilty and sentenced to life in prison and Marbäck believes it can return to its innocence. Vidar Jörgensson, the rookie officer who first responded to the fire, prides himself on helping solved the murder.
Little does he know this will become the defining case of his career and that it will drive him to the brink of professional and personal disaster-and link his fate to young Isak's. A celebrated author and professor of criminology, Christoffer Carlsson digs deep into the psyches of ordinary people and shows how one crime can haunt a community for decades.
A #1 international bestseller, Under the Storm is already a modern classic of Scandinavian crime fiction and demonstrates why many regard Carlsson as one of the great crime writers of his generation.
