Johan Theorin (born 1963) has spent all his summers on the island of Öland, where his debut, the crime novel Echoes From the Dead (Skumtimmen), which has received great international acclaim, takes place. In October 2009 he was awarded the CWA John Creasey New Blood Dagger for Echoes From the Dead, and then, sensationally, went on to win the CWA International Dagger 2010 for The Darkest Room (Nattfåk autumn 2008), book two in a planned series of four, all set on Öland, with one book for each season of the year. In April 2010 the third book, A Place of Blood (Blodläge) was published. Johan Theorin is also a journalist and has published several short stories in newspapers and anthologies.
