It's always awkward when five thousand kronor goes missing. When it happens at
a certain grotty hotel in south Stockholm, it's particularly awkward because the
money belongs to the hitman currently staying in room seven. Per Persson, the
hotel receptionist, just wants to mind his own business, and preferably not get
murdered. Johanna Kjellander, temporarily resident in room eight, is a priest
without a vocation, and, as of last week, without a parish. But right now she
has two things at her disposal: an envelope containing five thousand kronor, and
an excellent idea . . . Featuring one violent killer, two shrewd business brains
and many crates of Moldovan red wine, Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All is
an outrageously zany story with as many laughs as Jonasson's multimillion-copy
bestseller The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and
Disappeared.
