Inhaltsangabe

China, 1895
In the shifting sands of the Taklimakan Desert, a new Pompeii has come to light and, with it, two remarkable artefacts - a metal ankh and star, covered in strange inscriptions.

The Arctic, 1897
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 are committed to another, much more dangerous mission...

Sweden, 2011
260 meters under the earth, in a long-flooded mineshaft, a diver's torchbeam plays over a corpse with a fist-sized hole in its forehead. Skeletal fingers clutch a metal amulet. It is the key to the annals of a secret history so deeply buried that the few who knew of it thought it lost forever. Until now...

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.
