Mästerdetektiven Blomkvist

The master detective Kalle Blomkvist is only thirteen years old, but a very skilled detective in any case. He lives in a small idyllic town together with Anders and Eva-Lotta. Happy battles are fought between the Whites and the Reds, and everything is as lovely as it can only be when you're on summer vacation But then something happens that interrupts the fun and throws the master detective and his friends into life-threatening adventures.The book won a prize in Rabén & Sjögren's prize competition for detective stories for boys and girls aged 12–15. It was not illustrated in the first editions, but later illustrated by Eva Laurell. The book was later also illustrated by Eric Palmquist with a cover by Ilon Wikland.
