Harri Nykanen writes fiction across two distinct series, with six books published between 1992 and 2012. The Raid series came first, starting in 1992 and continuing with Raid And The Blackest Sheep in 2000 and Raid and the Kid in 2012. The Ariel Kafka Mysteries followed, with three entries published between 2004 and 2011.
The long gaps between books, particularly the twelve-year stretch in the Raid series, suggest Nykanen is not a full-time genre novelist or that these are translations reaching English-language markets over time. Both series are short enough to pick up quickly, and the Ariel Kafka name gives a literary flavor to what appears to be a mystery series.
