About this author

Throughout his life, Johan Theorin has been a regular visitor to the Baltic island of Öland.

Echoes from the Dead (originally published in Sweden as Skumtimmen) is Johan’s first novel. In 2007 it was voted Best First Mystery Novel by the authors and critics of the Swedish Academy of Crime, and it has been translated into twelve languages.

“The May sunshine makes both the trolls and the elves disappear, he thought. They burst like soap bubbles. Only human beings remain, for a little while. We are a brief song beneath the sky, laughter in the wind that ends in a sigh. Then we too are gone.”
Johan Theorin, Blodläge

“Vertrouwen hebben in anderen zegt vooral veel over hoe stabiel je zelf bent.”
Johan Theorin, Sint-Psycho
