Roslund/Hellström

Roslund & Hellström is a Swedish crime writing duo composed of journalist Anders Roslund, born 1961, and Börge Hellström, born 1957, a famous debater on the Swedish correctional system. Since 2004 full time writers. Until then, Roslund for fifteen years worked as a news reporter, head of Culture News and head of news for Rapport News, Aktuellt and Kulturnyheterna. Hellström is an ex-con[1] and one of the founders of Kriminellas Revansch i Samhället (KRIS), an organisation fighting to prevent crime.[2]

The duo made their debut with the crime novel Odjuret (English translation: The Beast) in 2004. A recurring theme in their novels is the question of who is the real victim and who the criminal when a crime has been committed.

Their works have been translated into Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indonesian, Russian, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Lithuanian, Estonian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Slovenian, Croatian, Hungarian, Slovak, Czech, Icelandic, Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, Hebrew, Turkish, Greek, Macedonian and Catalan.
