Book Description
Someone is killing young girls in the once-peaceful parks of Stockholm -- killing them after having his way. The people of Stockholm are tense and fearful. Police Superintendent Martin Beck has two witnesses: a cold-blooded mugger who won't say much and a three-year-old boy who can't say much. The dedicated work of the police force seems to be leading nowhere, and with each passing day, the likelihood of another murder grows. But then Beck remembers someone -- or something -- he overheard.
A quietly relentless thriller,
The Man on the Balcony juxtaposes the most inhuman of crimes with the humanity of the men who must solve it -- their perseverance, frustration, and horror -- resulting in a police procedural that is as moving and credible as it is enthralling.

Simple, Straightforward Police Procedural.......2007-07-27
It seems obscene to use the word "delightful" to describe a novel about a child killer, but that's what this book is: delightful. Unlike many contemporary police novels that feature page after page of chases and all-too-serendipitous events that move the plot forward, this one describes professional detectives simply, logically and thoroughly pursuing their culprit. The prose in this short book is spare; descriptions are terse. But each word, each sentence is dense with meaning and mood. The authors are masters at using only a few words to evoke a full description of the characters. If you're looking for a good change-of-pace in a crime novel, this one fills the bill.
Dry but effective.......2007-06-11
Swedish police detective Martin Beck returns in his third book by Maj Sjowall and her husband, Per Wahloo. Published in 1967, this solid entry in the series concerns a man who rapes and murders young girls in Stockholm parks. The city is gripped with terror, and the police are baffled at first, but slowly they begin to put together a few details. The story is told with a minimum of fuss. A few details are shared about the lives of the police detectives, including Martin Beck, but mostly to reflect how devoted they are to solving the gruesome murder cases.
The authors write in a straight-forward style; the police detectives, for example, are stodgy and would rather be out in the field instead of relying on psychological profiles of the murderer or using the new-fangled "computers" that were starting to pop up in their field. This type of police procedural may be off-putting to people wanting a fast-paced modern thriller. However, the tone really is perfect for the story, reflecting a Scandinavian simplicity and adding a needed dose of realism.
This reissue by Vintage Crime/Black Lizard is well done. The Martin Beck series is apparently quite popular in Sweden, with many of the series having been made into television films. Hopefully, American readers will discover these worthy books.
The Search for a Child Murderer.......2007-03-08
In the early morning a man sat on a balcony smoking and observing the activity in the street. A woman called the police to report this. No action taken (Chapter 2). A mugger is looking for a victim in the park (Chapter 5). Two drinkers looking for privacy found the body of a young girl in the park (Chapter 6). The following chapters give the story of the investigation into the murder. The girl's mother was divorced and worked hard, the father was late in child support payments. The heavy rain at night obliterated all clues. Then another young girl was murdered (Chapter 11). A jealous girlfriend goes to the police to identify the mugger (Chapter 13). The police break into the apartment and capture Rolf Lundgren (Chapter 14). Stolen goods were found in his apartment (Chapter 15). Lundgren gave a description of the man near the water tower (Chapter 16).
The 3-year old boy mentions a word that may be a clue to the killer (Chapter 17). Then Martin Beck remembers a report from two weeks earlier. Was it relevant (Chapter 22)? This sparse clue starts a search (Chapter 24). A rare coincidence allows a policeman to find Mrs. Andersson (Chapter 25). The police search the apartment of the man on the balcony and find something (Chapter 27). Another young girl is found dead (Chapter 28)! She had been told to stay out of that park. Then a suspect is seen at a park (Chapter 29). A hundred police search the area, and find a suspect. In Chapter 30 two radio car policemen stop by a wooded area, one goes to relieve himself. He sees a man who fits the description of the suspect and brings him in. The hunt is over.
This novel is faster-paced than later novels because it omits imagined details about the fictional characters. It does give details about life for ordinary people and their apartments.
Decent thriller.......2002-09-28
The second book in the Martin Beck detective series. ... the emphasis is more on the police procedural than the social and political commentary which would dominate the authors' later works.
The crime in this one is again sexual in nature, although even more barbaric: the serial rape and strangulation of little girls, whose bodies subsequently turn up in parks all over Stockholm. Beck is on the case (with his trusty partner Kollberg), and the two thoroughly investigage every lead, but to no avail. The tension in the book is simple, but palpable: ... As the detectives begin to feel the heat from their superiors and the public, the killer prepares to strike again...
And then the anticlimactic ending. No car chases, no shoot-outs, no ingenious breakthroughs, no sudden flashes of psychic insight: just simple police work and a healthy infusion of old-fashioned dumb luck.
One of the better novels in the series, again to be praised for its attention to details and realism.
Wahloo and Sjowall are unsurpassed masters!.......2001-02-19
The Martin Beck stories written by the gifted husband and wife writers, Wahloo and Sjowall are well written and will hold your attention. Guaranteed. These are crime novels with a social conscience of the 60's era. The authors bemoan the disintegration of the Swedish and western society, where everything is worse than it used to be. Martin Beck is a cop who is no villain, and who does his job because somebody has to do it. We look at the evils of the 60's society almost with nostalgia today. If only today's society could be as bad as the one Martin Beck had to face every day. Had he been able to see into the future, Martin Beck would have indeed been thankful that he didn't have to live in 2001. When I first bought the Black Lizard edition in a Berkeley bookstore years ago, I must confess it was strictly for the slick cover of a dead man with a face in a spaghetti plate (in "Murder At the Savoy"). Soon I had to have all ten of the Wahloo-Sjowall books. I still have them, and still occasionally go back to read them again!

The eagerly-awaited sequel to The Heritage of Hastur and Sharra's Exile. Margaret Alton, daughter of the Darkovan representative to the Terran Imperial Senate, remembers almost nothing about the planet of her birth or her tumultuous childhood. What fleeting memories she has are fragments of terror -- a strange silver man and a screaming woman with hair that circled her head like a ring of fire. Now her work has taken Margaret back to Darkover, where she must fight against inner voices that are trying to control her as she unravels the secrets of her heritage -- and her destiny.

back jacket summary.......2006-03-03
from the back cover of the April 1997 Daw paperback edition
cover illustration by Romas Kukalis
She was Margaret Alton, the daughter of Lew Alton, the Darkovan representative to the Terran Imperial Senate, but she remembered almost nothing about the planet of her birth, or her early and tumultuous childhood. What fleeting memories disturbed her sleep were fragments of terror-a strange silver man and a screaming woman with hair that circled her head like a ring of fire.
As soon as Margaret was of age, she fled her stormy home and took refuge on University where she was granted the position of assistant to a renowned musicologist. This prestigious job took her to many worlds, and when she was assigned to collect folk songs on Darkover, Margaret was curious and pleased.
But under the light of the red sun, Margaret's innocent excitement quickly waned. The world of her birth evoked long-buried memories, painful and terrifying, and she soon found herself driven by a destiny more dreadful than any nightmare. For the screaming woman and the silver man were merely markers on a trail - a trail which led into Margaret's own mind, and toward a trap which had been set for her centuries before her birth...
The Future unfurled.......2002-04-06
All though I do agree with the above author about the unconsistant genealogies in her series(I have encountered some of that in Mists of Avalon), focusing on that one fault ruins the impact and the refrencing of this book. the characters are there, before your eyes, acting out a life that you have always longed for while trying to avoid. Anyone who has had destiny put them in a maddening and unsuspected situation can relate to the main characters Margaret Alton and Mikhial Hastur/Lanart. I own this book and I can help but to read it over and over again because MZB shares JK Rowlings talent of holding little things in the book taht even the most careful of readers can't notice untill the fourth reading. This tale of our future is incredible and anyone even considering reading it should go ahead because it is anything but a waste of time.
A return to the great Darkover books.......2001-01-28
After the lackluster Rediscovery this book restored my confidence in MZB as a writer. As soon as I finished this book I wanted the next one in this trilogy within a series.
a great first book read.......2000-12-30
this is the first book of the darkover series i have read and i found it to be great. i read it in a day or so and true the plot does beg to be enhanced but i found the idea of this strong willed heiress who takes nothing in this male dominated societ intriguing. too many of the other people who read this got hung up on geneology and such things from the other book and simply couldn't enjoy the book. the only thing that troubled me was references to other,earlier books but i know that was to be expected. also people say that the "confrintation" in the middle of the book led to an aimless anticlimax which is completely untrue. you see the heroine struggle to find balance and try not to kill anyone with her "gifts" and the end made me run out for the next book. i admit that this is not a book for hardcore darkover fans but a very good book for someone new to the series.
Okay..but not as 'good as it gets'...........2000-06-13
Marion Zimmer Bradley is a wonderful author, but I'm sorry to say that she doesn't show the story development that she usually has. Her character development is still great, but not good enough for 4 or 5 stars.
The story of Margaret Alton is quite interesting. She goes to the planet of her birth and learns that she is a telepath with the "Alton Gift," among other gifts. The back-of-the-book-synopsis says that there's a 'trap that was set for her centuries before her birth,' and that was what interested me in the book. But the 'trap' is the gift. She learns that she has these things about half-way through the book, and then you are looking forward to this 'trap,' but that is the trap.
The characters are neat, but as for the story, it is weaker than it could have been. Nice try Ms Bradley...I'm still looking forward to other Darkover Novels (I've heard that this one isn't the best one of the bunch...)
Book Description
Peroxides are supposed to be bad for you. Free radicals and all that. But now we hear that hydrogen peroxide is good for us. Hydrogen peroxide will put extra oxygen in your blood. There's no doubt about that. Hydrogen peroxide costs pennies. So if you can get oxygen into the blood cheaply and safely, maybe cancer (which doesn't like oxygen), emphysema, AIDS, and many other terrible diseases can be treated effectively. Intravenous hydrogen peroxide rapidly relieves allergic reactions, influenza symptoms, and acute viral infections. No one expects to live forever. But we would all like to have a George Burns finish. The prospect of finishing life in a nursing home after abandoning your tricycle in the mobile home park is not appealing. Then comes the loss of control of vital functions the ultimate humiliation. Is life supposed to be from tricycle to tricycle and diaper to diaper? You come into this world crying, but do you have to leave crying? I don't believe you do. And you won't either after you see the evidence. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? Read on and decide for yourself. . When using H2O2, noted sensitivity to pollen and food allergens clinically improved. Improvement in allergic bronchitis, asthma and chronic sinusitis... significant improvement in energy and endurance. Discover how this miraculous healing agent works, and why the medical establishment wants to suppress it. No other chemical compound comes even close to hydrogen peroxide in its importance to life. Join Dr. Douglass as he reveals how this fascinating healer works to rid the body of disease.

The information in this book actually saved my life! NO JOKE!!!.......2007-08-22
On August 16th, 2000, I awoke in my sleep having been bitten five times by a mosquito carrying some form of encephalitis. Earlier that year residents of the San Fernando Valley, where I live, were warned through the local media that the county health officials found 12 different viruses in the mosquitoes feeding off the sewage areas in the neighboring Sepulveda Dam area near my home.
While my home is about 4 blocks from the 405 freeway, where the Sepulveda Dam area is, I didn't think a mosquito would fly over that busy freeway and get close to my home. Well come the night of August 16th, one did. It woke me at 2:00 am that early morning finding me waking to scratching my bite marks. I could not catch the mosquito that bit me, so I went back to sleep.
Come 10:00 am the following morning, I awoke to go to the bathroom when suddenly a felt a snapping in the left trapezius muscle of my neck, supporting my skull, while I fell to the floor temporarily unconscious for a few seconds. Oddly enough, instinctively my left hand grabbed the towel rack next to my toilet as I tried to catch myself falling.
As I tried to stand up, I had a massive amount of pressure and pain going clean around my head and over my eyes. I could barely control the muscles on the left back side of my neck and had to crawl back to my bed on all fours. As I got in bed, I reached for the phone on my nightstand and called my cousin to come and take me to Tarzana ER, near my home.
When we got there and I was admitted, Dr. Edith Levine, MD; the attending doctor on duty that day, told me they were getting allot of people dropping from the mosquitoes in the Sepulveda Dam area due to encephalitis and meningitis type related problems. So she took a CAT and MRI scan as well as some blood, then told me I was on my own with this one as western medicine had nothing to offer.
Day and night I was blinded with crushing pain around my head, bedridden and close to death. In fact, I did die come March 2001 and got to see the other side while walking with our Lord in Heaven. Why I came back is another story. Whether you believe me or not is not at issue here.
However, what is at issue is how I got my head clear. A few weeks after the initial bite from the mosquito, my brother took me to see one of my physicians, Dr. Murry Susser who operated out of the Longevity Medical Clinic in Los Angeles at that time. Susser said he could try to approach the problem using all natural approaches, but I suggested we follow Dr. Douglass's book on using peroxide treatments to try and clear the blood vessels surrounding my head which were obviously involved in all of this. I had been using the information in Douglass's book to help me with a 2 1/2 year detox/deparasiting program I had been on after eating contaminated meat a few years previous: Again being told to go home and die after western medicine finally gave up on me. Susser agreed with my proposal and authorized 10 peroxide treatments to be done on Saturdays, one week apart from each other.
By the time I was done with those 10 treatments, all the crushing pain and pressure in my ears was cleared, but I could not say the same for the crushing pain and pressure all around my head.
Two years went by with me bedridden living in this condition. I had tried prednisone to no avail and the best help was using Dr. Bob Beck's blood electrifier with the probes on the temporal arteries, which gave me some symptomatic relief helping to function somewhat better.
Finally, another naturopath I knew by the name of Dr. Rick Santee called me suggesting I might have plaque build up in the blood vessels going around my head and that I should think of repeating the peroxide IV's, but also add in EDTA chelation into the approach. These are referred to as "chelox" treatments in Dr. Douglass's book: "Chelox" standing for "chelation/oxygen" treatments.
So we made an appointment with Dr. Susser again and I shared with him what Dr. Santee suggested. Susser again liked the idea and authorized 20 chelox treatments done one week apart from each other on Saturdays. So on the first Saturday I was given a three hour EDTA chelation IV and the next Saturday, I got a 2 hour peroxide IV at one quarter strength. As each weekend passed, the EDTA IV stayed the same strength, while the concentration of peroxide was slowly raised to the normal maximum strength.
By the sixth treatment, I started to feel everything in my head start to move down toward my shoulders and into my liver. It was the sickest feeling you can think of. I was a little dizzy headed for 72 hours after each treatment with the pressure becoming temporarily worse in that 72 hours, but as each week passed the pressure got less and less around my head until come the 18th treatment, all the pain and pressure I had lived with, for what was now close to three years, was gone; never to return: Not even to this day.
What needed more work was the torn muscle on the left back side of my neck. That tear was about a 4 inch tear. Susser prescribed 9,000 units of Vitamin E a day to go after the scar tissue along with head exercises. Dr. Santee wanted me to keep my pH up, so I did keep my minerals going into me, but found eating lots of protein helped the muscle operate and regenerate faster along with the large doses of Vitamin E I was taking each day.
About another year later my neck was back to normal. Naturally I could not work during this time in the condition I was in and if we had known to use the chelox treatments up front, I would have only lost the one year.
Dr. Susser was good friends I learned with both Dr. Douglass and Dr. Charles Farr who are both talked about in Douglass's book and I have a great deal of respect for Murry Susser if you are ever in the L.A. area and need a good source for alternatives away from the allopathic western medical trap of doing medicine.
I highly, highly recommend you keep this book next to your home medical book if you have one. The information revealed does indeed work, speaking from actual experience and I've met many a patient who has used EDTA chelation to clear their arteries avoiding the bitter suffering of open heart surgery as a result. I can testify from experience how well EDTA works in combination with peroxide IV's. The information in this book truly saved my life!
have tried it.......2007-08-19
Am taking chelation treatments and alternate once in awhile with the hydrogen peroxide treatments. It's too soon for me, but visiting with others who have been on these treatments much longer....it sounds very promising. The hydrogen peroxide is used to help get rid of infection among other things. Almost sounds too good to be true. But like I said before...have talked with many who have been helped a great deal, which have included diabetics, heart patients, cancer patients.
excellent.......2007-07-22
A unique take on the health and aging industries, this book is a real eye opener. It proves, once again, that we have much to learn about our health and that the key to preventing a myriad of diseases, from AIDS to cancer could very well be just around the horizon.
This book is must reading for anyonwe intrigued with health, new discovery and who has a sense of wonderment.
For those interested in health also read Dr Ornish's book. Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease: The Only System Scientifically Proven to Reverse Heart Disease Without Drugs or Surgery
Don't Drink This Stuff.......2007-07-20
The book is very good reading and hydrogen peroxide is wonderful. However, the type the book discusses is not the liquid kind you purchase in the drug store. Don't drink typical hydrogen peroxide you normally see; most authorities agree this isn't good for you. I'm never going to do what the book recommends, so, while the reading is interesting, it is of limited value.
Yes and No.......2007-06-30
It is important to remain an informed consumer. Many reviews contain unsubstantiated anecdotal evidence ("it worked for me!") that may/may not be true or could be coincidental. Also, remember that some alternative medical regimens are sold by people wishing to make $$$ from you. And take care when a "medical" professional bashes the establishment and makes claims that "they have tried to suppress this". This is usually not really true, and is a powerful psychological method used to sell alternative products. H2O2 has some beneficial and some potentially harmful effects. From wikipedia ( a generally objective resource site):
Hydrogen peroxide has been used as an antiseptic and anti-bacterial agent for many years. While its use has decreased in recent years with the popularity of better-smelling and more readily-available over the counter products, it is still used by many hospitals, doctors and dentists in sterilizing, cleaning and treating everything from floors to root canal procedures.
Recently, alternative medical practitioners have advocated administering doses of hydrogen peroxide intravenously in extremely low (less than one percent) concentrations for hydrogen peroxide therapy -- a controversial alternative medical treatment for cancer. However, according to the American Cancer Society, "there is no scientific evidence that hydrogen peroxide is a safe, effective or useful cancer treatment." They advise cancer patients to "remain in the care of qualified doctors who use proven methods of treatment and approved clinical trials of promising new treatments." [6] Another controversial alternative medical treatment is inhaling hydrogen peroxide of a concentration around 1%. Internal use of hydrogen peroxide has a history of causing fatal blood disorders, and its recent use as a therapeutic treatment has been linked to several deaths.[7][8]
Hydrogen peroxide is Generally Recognised As Safe (GRAS) as an antimicrobial agent, an oxidizing agent and more by the US Food and Drug Administration.[9] Hydrogen peroxide can also be used as a toothpaste when mixed with correct quantities of baking soda and salt.[10] Like benzoyl peroxide, hydrogen peroxide is also sometimes used in the treatment of acne.[11] Hydrogen peroxide is also used as an emetic in veterinary practice.[12]

Terrific Cookbook!.......2007-07-29
The recipes are hearty and filling, taste and look great too. My husband raves each time something new comes from this book!
--Very enjoyable--.......2006-04-20
COOKING FROM QUILT COUNTRY is a pleasure to read. The title comes from the fact that Amish and Mennonite people are famous for their quilt making skills.
This book gives a little background of the Mennonite and Amish sects and how they came into existence. The roots of the two groups originated with the Protestant Reformation and the Swiss Anabaptist movement. The leader was a Dutch priest by the name of Menno Simons.
This very informative book is filled with wonderful recipes and many photographs. Because the Mennonites and Amish have traditionally been farmers, they're also known for their wonderful foods. There are recipes for everyone here, but I was especially interested in the different vegetable dishes that are presented.

Cooking From Quilt Country is perfection.......2005-08-02
Cooking From Quilt Country is by far the best cookbook (and I have many) that I have ever seen. Whether you want to lose weight or gain weight , recipies can be adapted for your own use and taste . Best of all, recipies can be done "by the book itself". I would honestly say this could be the only cookbook one woulld ever need and definitely would make a lovely gift!
This is a wonderful cookbook........2005-06-18
There are dozens of recipes I want to try. I tried the custard cornbread and there will be no going back---this is my new favorite cornbread recipe. And I had an excellent recipe which was often requested, but this is head and shoulders above it! And what a beautiful book! The photos are superlative. Wonderful for both reading and cooking.
