Kerstin Ekman lives in Valsjobyn, a small village in northern Sweden, near the Norwegian border, an area which is one of Europe's last and most considerable wildernesses. Blackwater was inspired by the true story of the unsolved murder of two Dutch hitch-hikers in their tent in a town to the north of Valsjobyn.

Ekman is the author of seventeen novels that have been widely published in Scandinavia and Europe. Blackwater -- her first novel to appear in English -- received the Swedish Crime Academy's Award for best crime novel, the August Prize, and the Nordic Council's Literary Prize.
