Johan Theorin
Johan Theorin was born 3.9. 1963 in Gothenburg. From childhood he spent every summer on the island of Öland, which had a fatal influence on his later literary work. His mother's family, made up mainly of sailors, fishermen and farmers, had lived here for centuries and cared for the island's heritage, mysterious stories and folklore. This almost mystical setting inspired him to write a series of stories in which he masterfully combines the genius loci of Öland with a detective plot. He currently lives in Gothenburg and works as a journalist. Among other reasons, he is often compared to Stieg Larsson. The author began his literary career writing short stories for various magazines and anthologies. His first novel Skumtimmen (Mlhy Ölandu, MOBA - November 2011) was published in the spring of 2007 and became an instant bestseller. So far it has been published in twenty countries, including Germany, USA, Brazil, Thailand or Slovakia, and in 2007 won the Swedish Academy of Detective Fiction's award for the best detective story of the year.
