Man on the Roof (1976)
Synopsis
Police lieutenant Nyman is murdered in his
hospital bed and Martin Beck and his colleagues have another murder to
solve. They discover that Nyman was a very tough policeman who received
several complaints about his methods. His partner Hult defends him
against these accusations, while Nyman's widow explains that Hult was
the only one outside of the family who knew where Nyman was
hospitalized. It becomes obvious to Beck, that a lot of people wanted
Nyman dead, but he is not the only one targeted. Soon a sniper kills
policemen from a roof in central Stockholm.
