New Author: Mons Kallentoft
We are proud to welcome Mons Kallentoft to Paloma Agency.
Mons Kallentoft (1968) is one of Scandinavia’s most prominent crime authors. He made his literary debut in 2000 with Pesetas which earned him the prestigious Catapult Prize. In 2007, Kallentoft published Midwinter Sacrifice, the first installment of his groundbreaking series featuring police officer Malin Fors, set in his hometown of Linköping. The series has sold over 3 million copies worldwide, been sold to 28 territories and is currently being adapted into a Netflix series.
Since the release of Midwinter Sacrifice, Kallentoft has expanded his portfolio with the Zack Herry series, which revolves around police detective Zack and is loosely inspired by the twelve labors of Hercules; a duology set in Palma, following private detective Tim Blanck as he searches for his missing daughter Emme; and the Underdog series, where we follow a number of distinct characters navigating a shadowy world where love stands as the last beacon of hope. All three series have been highly successful, further solidifying Kallentoft’s position as a versatile and internationally recognized writer of suspense.
In May 2025, Kallentoft’s highly anticipated new suspense series will be published by Norstedts. Set against the backdrop of Småland’s dark woods, this marks the first collaboration between Kallentoft and his ex-wife Karolina Kallentoft.
Renowned for his distinctive prose, Kallentoft masterfully combines realism and supernatural elements, weaving intricate plots with profound psychological depth. His works have established him as a defining voice of his generation.
