The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden: Jonas Jonasson

As delightfully wry and witty as his bestselling debut, `The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared`, this is a tale of how one woman`s attempt to change her future ended up changing everything. Nombeko Mayeki is on the run from the world`s most ruthless secret service - with three Chinese sisters, twins who are officially one person and an elderly potato farmer. Oh, and the fate of the King of Sweden - and the world - rests on her shoulders. Born in a Soweto shack in 1961, Nombeko was destined for a short, hard life. When she was run over by a drunken engineer her luck changed. Alive, but blamed for the accident, she was made to work for the engineer - who happened to be in charge of a project vital to South Africa`s security. Nombeko was good at cleaning, but brilliant at understanding numbers. The drunk engineer wasn`t - and made a big mistake. And now only Nombeko knows about it ...As uproariously funny as Jonas Jonasson`s bestselling debut, this is an entrancing tale of luck, love and international relations. Now also available: `Hitman Anders and the meaning of it all`, a brand-new adventure from Jonas Jonasson
