VJ Books Presents Author Anders Roslund, Borge Hellstrom, and Stefan Thunberg!
Roslund / Hellstrom is a Swedish crime writing duo composed of journalist Anders Roslund, born 1961, and Borge Hellstrom, born 1957, a famous debater on the Swedish correctional system. For many years, Roslund worked as a news reporter specializing in criminal and social issues and as an Editor-in-chief at Rapport and Aktuelt, the two major News programs on Swedish television. Hellstrom is one of the founders of the crime prevention organization KRIS (Criminals Return Into Society) and has worked with rehabilitation of young offenders and drug addicts.
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 other Nordic languages, German, English and Turkish.
