Agaton Sax and the London Computer Plot

Agaton Sax and the London Computer Plot

by Nils-Olof Franzén; ill. Quentin Blake (André Deutsch, 1973)

[from Agaton Sax och den svällande rotmos-affären, 1970]

Agaton Sax once again comes up against The Boss and his ineffectual, scramble-talking gang. While the Swedish detective’s much-vaunted mastery doesn’t really hold water on this occasion, the pseudo-portentous, faux-mysterious comings-and-goings will nonetheless keep young readers amused (and delving into the genre).
