Kristina Ohlsson was born on March 2, 1979, in Sweden. Before becoming a full-time writer, she worked in counter-terrorism and security policy, holding positions at the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the Swedish Security Service, and the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs. That professional background shows up clearly in her fiction, which treats police procedure and bureaucratic politics with the specificity of someone who has worked inside those systems.
Her Fredrika Bergman series, which began with Unwanted in 2009, became a bestseller in Sweden and was shortlisted for Best Crime Novel of the Year by the Swedish Academy of Crime Writers. The series has been translated into dozens of languages. She followed it with the Martin Benner thrillers, centered on a defense lawyer pulled into criminal conspiracies, and the Glass Children books, a departure into children’s fiction that won the Swedish Radio Children’s Novel of the Year award in 2013.
