I'll probably be hissed off the list--but one of the Martin
Beck books is a
locked room mystery (it might be called "The Locked Room"--I
forget which
number it is). It's a police procedural, but if it's from
Sweden, so it has
to be noir. (There was a series of new Martin Beck-based crime
movies/TV
episodes from Sweden--not too far from an American cop show,
but lots of
brooding, angst, and references to suicide--great stuff. They
were at the
Washington, DC, AFI last summer.)
