Levemåder

by Svend Åge Madsen

Der er altergang i en dansk landsbykirke, og oblaterne og vinen bliver uddelt. På vej ned fra alteret begynder en mand at spjætte og danse i krampe. Et øjeblik efter er han død, myrdet af en forgiftet oblat. Svaret på, hvem der myrdede Gordon Gimpel, bliver opklaret eller snarere ikke opklaret i seks fortællinger med typiske madsenske twists and turns. En typisk Svend Åge Madsen-roman, der får en kinesisk æske til at ligne en papkasse.
