Order of Annika Bengtzon Books

Swedish author Liza Marklund's compelling protagonist Annika Bengtzon anchors a gripping series of Scandinavian crime thrillers that masterfully balances professional intrigue with personal drama. As a dedicated crime reporter for a Stockholm tabloid newspaper, Annika navigates the demanding world of investigative journalism while juggling her responsibilities as a mother at home.

The series launched in 1998 with the Swedish publication of Sprangaren, which English-speaking readers came to know as The Bomber when it arrived in translation two years later in 2000. This marked the beginning of an ongoing literary journey that continues to captivate crime fiction enthusiasts.

Annika's character has transcended the page, coming to life on screen through film adaptations featuring actress Malin Crepin in the titular role.
