Will Dean grew up in the English Midlands and later moved to a small forest town in Sweden, an experience that directly shaped his fiction. His debut novel Dark Pines (2018) introduced Tuva Moodyson, a deaf journalist working for the local newspaper in the fictional town of Gavrik. The series has grown to six books, each set during a different season and each involving a new case with roots in the surrounding community.
Dean has also written several standalone thrillers. The Last Thing to Burn (2021) is a claustrophobic story about a woman held captive in an isolated farmhouse. First Born (2022) follows identical twins whose bond turns dangerous. His standalones tend to be tighter and darker than the Tuva books, with confined settings and psychological tension.
