Steven Mackintosh stars as Martin Beck in the classic 1960s Swedish detective series

Steven Mackintosh as Martin Beck and Neil Pearson as Kollberg star in the classic 1960s Swedish detective stories by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö. 9: Cop Killer

The murder of a woman in a small village outside Malmö in Southern Sweden wouldn't normally warrant the attentions of DI Martin Beck and his team, but the victim lived next door to a man who has already killed once, and there's a lot of press interest. Beck and Kollberg aren't getting anywhere when a shootout between two teenage boys and the police leads them gradually to the killer.
