Lars Kepler

Lars Kepler is the pen name of Swedish authors Alexander & Alexandra Ahndoril. Together, they write Scandinavian crime fiction featuring Chief Inspector Joona Linna. Prior to teaming up, both authors had been published under their own names. They even submitted the manuscript to their debut collaborative novel ( The Hypnotist ) anonymously. They soon had Swedish tabloids knocking on their door, wanting them to confess to writing the popular novel. The Ahndorils have three daughters and live in Stockholm, with a summer home on the west coast of Sweden.
