Il secondo libro della classica serie poliziesca di Martin Beck degli anni '60, i romanzi che hanno plasmato il futuro della scrittura poliziesca scandinava. Acclamatissima, la serie di Martin Beck è stata la prima serie poliziesca scandinava e ha ispirato gli scritti di Stieg Larsson, Henning Mankell e Jo Nesbo. Scritti negli anni '60, 10 libri completati in 10 anni, sono opera di Maj Sjowall e Per Wahloo, una coppia di coniugi svedesi. Seguono le fortune del detective Martin Beck, il cui carattere enigmatico e taciturno ha ispirato innumerevoli altri poliziotti nella narrativa poliziesca; senza la sua creazione, John Rebus di Ian Rankin o Kurt Wallander di Henning Mankell potrebbero non essere mai stati concepiti. I romanzi possono essere letti separatamente, ma è meglio leggerli in ordine cronologico, così il lettore può seguire lo sviluppo dei personaggi e lasciarsi coinvolgere dalla serie nel suo insieme. "The Man Who Went Up in Smoke" inizia con Martin Beck che ha appena iniziato la sua vacanza: un agosto trascorso con la sua famiglia su una piccola isola al largo della costa svedese. Ma quando un vicino riceve una telefonata, Beck si ritrova spedito a Budapest, dove un giornalista maleducato è scomparso senza lasciare traccia. Invece di trascorrere giornate tranquille e soleggiate con i suoi figli, Beck deve andare a caccia negli inferi dell'Europa orientale alla ricerca di un uomo che nessuno conosce, con l'aiuto della fredda ed efficiente polizia locale, che fa affari mentre si ammolla nei bagni pubblici, e a rischio di sparire insieme alla sua preda.

Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo, both left-wing journalists and politically radical, met in 1961 while working for magazines published by the same company. They married the next year and together created the Martin Beck crime series, famously writing alternate chapters at night after putting their children to bed. Wahloo died at the age of 49 just as their 10th book was going to press. Sjowall currently lives in Sweden and continues to work as a writer and translator.
Per Wahlöö was born in Göteborg. After graduating from the University of Lund in 1946, he worked as a journalist, covering criminal and social issues for a number of newspapers and magazines. In the 1950s Wahlöö was engaged in radical political causes, activities that resulted in his deportation from Franco's Spain in 1957. After returning to Sweden, he wrote a number of television and radio plays, and was managing editor of several magazines, before becoming a full-time writer.
