Asa Larsson is a Swedish author best known for her Rebecka Martinsson crime fiction series, which has earned her a reputation as one of the leading voices in Scandinavian noir. A former tax lawyer, Larsson draws on her legal background to create a protagonist who straddles the worlds of Stockholm law and the remote communities of northern Sweden.
Her debut novel Sun Storm (published in some markets as The Savage Altar) won the Swedish Crime Writers’ Academy Award for Best First Crime Novel in 2003. The Rebecka Martinsson series now spans six books, the most recent being Sins of Our Fathers in 2023. Larsson’s writing is distinguished by its deep sense of place, using the harsh beauty of Lapland and the midnight sun as more than just backdrop. The landscape shapes the stories, the characters, and the crimes themselves.
