All the Swedish thriller protagonist today with stomach ulcer and failed marriages are in some way or another based on Martin Beck. You really should read these novels, in addition to being great crime novels they also give a very thorough image of Planet Sweden in the 60's and the 70's, which basicly means less nazis (all right, there are some nazis) and more drugs. And the detecitves are all in their fifties, wondering what happened to the pre-war Europe they knew as children. It all started in the 60's with the Martin Beck series by Maj Sjöwall & Per Wahlöö.
