Inhaltsangabe

Taklamakan desert, 1895
A new Pompeii has come to light and, with it, two remarkable artefacts, found in a hidden burial chamber. A metal ankh and star - covered in strange inscriptions, feather-light and cool to the touch.

Svalbard, 1897
On the skerried islands of Svalbard, a hydrogen balloon is readied for a polar voyage. Publicly, it is a patriotic attempt to put Sweden in the lead of the race to the North Pole. Privately, the three men on board have another objective. But S. A Andree, Knut Frænkel and Nils Strindberg will never be seen alive again.

Falun, Sweden, 2011
260 meters under the earth, in a long-flooded mineshaft, a diver's torchbeam plays over a mouldering corpse with a fist-sized hole in its forehead. Skeletal fingers clutch a metal amulet.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

I was born in Uppsala 8 April 1970, but grew up in Linköping, a medium sized city in the southern part of Sweden.

After graduation at Katedralskolan in Linköping, I studied a wide range of subjects at Linköping University and Lund University: religion, philosophy and law (1991-1994).

I went to filmschool in Stockholm (1994-1996), and after that I studied at Stockholm University, the Department of Journalism, Media and Communication (JMK) (1996-2000). I have a Bachelor's degree with a major in Media & Communication Studies, and a Master's degree in Journalism.


I worked as a news reporter covering domestic news at TV4 in Stockholm (2000-2001). After that I worked for nine years as a news reporter at Sveriges Television, the Swedish Public Broadcaster and the major TV company in Sweden (2002-2010).

In June 2010 I quit my job, due to the international success of Strindberg´s star, and since then I've been working full time as an author.

I don't really have time for any specific interests right now, besides writing, because most of my spare time goes to taking care of three fairly wild children.
