Anki Edvinsson is a journalist and former tv presenter, who now writes full-time. She lives in Stockholm with her family, and has previously lived in Umeå while studying criminology. Snow Angel (2021) sold more than 100 000 copies, and since then the series has sold 400 000 copies, in nine markets. Snow Angel was awarded the French Prix Polar International de Cognac 2025.

Anki is a familiar face to many Swedes from her former career in the media, where she worked as a television host, reporter, and weather forecaster. Moving from Stockholm, Anki and her husband relocated to Umeå in the north of Sweden, where her husband grew up. In Umeå she joined the local news team, and it is also the city her crime series is set.

Anki more or less grew up in a police station, spending time with her father and brother, who were both police officers. When researching her debut crime novel, Anki wanted to get under the skin of her characters and to explore the causes of crime; what makes a person choose that path, who becomes a murderer and why? As a result, she started studying criminology at Umeå University while writing.

The von Klint & Berg series has sold 400 000 copies, and been published in nine markets. It is set in the north of Sweden featuring investigator Charlotte von Klint and her colleagues.
