The Rebecka Martinsson series follows a Swedish tax lawyer whose return to her northern hometown pulls her into a world of crime far removed from her orderly Stockholm life. Set in and around the mining town of Kiruna, above the Arctic Circle, the series uses its remote, harsh setting to create an atmosphere of isolation and unease.

Sun Storm (2003) introduces Martinsson when she returns to Kiruna after a friend is murdered in a local church. Each subsequent novel deepens her connection to the region and its people, as she finds herself repeatedly drawn into investigations that local police struggle to solve. The series spans two decades, from Sun Storm to Sins of Our Fathers (2023), and Larsson’s writing grows darker and more layered with each installment. The books have been praised for their psychological depth and for treating northern Sweden as a character in its own right.
