Books Included in This Collection:
Accidental Further Adventures of the Hundred-Year-Old Man
In this riotous follow-up, Allan Karlsson and his friend Julius tumble from one improbable scenario to another after a hot-air-balloon misadventure. The narrative playfully winks at global history while careening toward a North Korean ship captain guarding contraband uranium, delivering a satirical, globe-trotting romp that fans of the author will relish for its relentless energy and clever wordplay. A brisk, big-hearted comedy about age, influence, and the ridiculousness of human plans.

Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All
A crime-capable ensemble anchors this zany tale of missing money, morally ambiguous hitmen, and a hotel room that turns into a stage for misdirection and moral reflection. Jonasson’s trademark humor offset by a surprisingly tender look at faith, crime, and human foibles makes this stand-out in his catalog, delivering laughter alongside thoughtful observations about modern absurdities. A perfect pick for readers who enjoy clever capers with a dash of philosophy.

The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden
A Soweto-born heroine named Nombeko Mayeki becomes entwined in a mission that could alter world events and the fate of a king. With wry humor and a suspenseful chase, the story travels from South Africa to Sweden as three Chinese sisters, an elderly farmer, and a young woman resist forces bent on chaos. It’s a warm, adventurous, and utterly engaging standalone that completes the set with a generous helping of heart and satire.
