Carin Gerhardsen is a Swedish author who writes crime fiction set in and around Stockholm. She worked as a mathematician and IT consultant before turning to fiction, and her Hammarby series quickly gained a following among fans of Scandinavian crime novels. The series follows a team of detectives at the Hammarby police station as they investigate violent crimes across the city.
Gerhardsen’s writing is known for its sharp plotting and willingness to explore the darker corners of ordinary Swedish life. Her standalone novel Black Ice, published in 2021, showed she could work just as well outside of a series framework. She has been compared to other Scandinavian crime writers like Camilla Lackberg and Hakan Nesser, though her style has a directness that sets her apart.
