IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN.
AND AGAIN.
Hitman Anders is fresh out of prison and determined not to go back. He meets a female Protestant vicar and a receptionist from a 1-star hotel and together they cook up a very unusual business idea – but then when Anders unexpectedly finds God, the vicar and the receptionist have to find a new plan, quick…
As wildly funny and unexpected as The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared and The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden, this is a madcap, feel-good adventure about belief, the media – and the fact that it’s never too late to start again.
JUST BECAUSE THE WORLD IGNORES YOU
DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN’T SAVE IT
Nombeko Mayeki was never meant to be a hero. Born in a Soweto shack, she seemed destined for a short, hard life. But now she is on the run from the world’s most ruthless secret service, with three Chinese sisters, twins who are officially one person and an elderly potato farmer. Oh, and the fate of the King of Sweden – and the world – rests on her shoulders.
As uproariously funny as Jonas Jonasson’s bestselling debut, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared, this is an entrancing tale of luck, love and international relations.
YOU’RE NEVER TOO OLD FOR AN ADVENTURE…
Sitting quietly in his room in an old people’s home, Allan Karlsson is waiting for a party he doesn’t want to begin. His one-hundredth birthday party to be precise. The Mayor will be there. The press will be there. But, as it turns out, Allan will not…
Escaping (in his slippers) through his bedroom window, into the flowerbed, Allan makes his getaway. And so begins his picaresque and unlikely journey involving criminals, several murders, a suitcase full of cash and incompetent police. As his escapades unfold, Allan’s earlier life is revealed. A life in which – remarkably – he played a key role behind the scenes in some of the momentous events of the twentieth century.
‘Imaginative, laugh-out-loud bestseller.’
