Man on the Roof

A police lieutenant is murdered in his hospital bed by an intruder, and the precise knifework indicates that the killer may hail from the professional ranks. Beck and the homicide team investigate what turns out to be a cop killer with a very specific grudge. Carl-Gustaf Lindstedt brings heft and an unfussy world-weariness to his portrayal of Beck; Hakan Serner shines as overworked sergeant Einar Rönn, as do Sven Wollter and Thomas Hellberg as the acerbic detectives Kollberg and Larsson.
