Exhibit A
The charge
The old families never actually lost their grip
Titles stopped meaning much. Property, law and inheritance went on meaning a great deal. Gabriel was born into a family like that and built a career well away from it. That held until the day the only thing that could help him was the name he had been avoiding.
You will want to know how it ends. You will also want to know what becomes of him.
The record
The series continues
Three Gabriel Creuz thrillers are already written and published in Sweden. The English editions follow one after another — this is not a series that leaves you waiting.
The whole shelf
5 series, 20 books
Everything before Gabriel Creuz was written in Swedish. Here is what it is.
Gabriel Creuz
3 books · 2024– · written alone
A lawyer goes to prison for a fraud he had nothing to do with. He comes out with no practice, no standing and no idea who put him there — and the only people with answers are the family he spent his life avoiding. Dan's first solo series, and the one being written for English readers now.
Christopher Silfverbielke
9 books · 2008–2018 · with Dag Öhrlund
Nine books about a man who looks like everyone else. Christopher Silfverbielke is polite, successful and entirely without conscience, and the series follows him for a decade as the people around him work out what he is — usually too late.
Alex Storm
4 books · 2019–2021 · with Leffe Grimwalker
Alex Storm finally has the life he wanted: a wife, a child on the way, a business that works. Then the debts arrive, and the only people willing to help are the ones you cannot take help from. Four books about an ordinary man being taken apart.
Jacob Colt
3 books · 2007–2010 · with Dag Öhrlund
The series that started it all, in 2007. Detective Jacob Colt works cases that begin online and end in bodies — extortion, trafficking, murder arranged by people who never meet their victims.
Richard Axman
1 book · 2025– · with Fredrik Sandberg
A Swedish doctor drinking his way through the aftermath of his own life, working in the poorest part of São Paulo. The newest series, and the first to send Dan's writing outside Europe.
