Dan Buthler
Scandinavian crime writer
Twenty-six thrillers since 2007. Eight series. One recurring question: what happens to people caught inside systems bigger than they are?
The Gabriel Creuz series
Three novels, in English for the first time, arriving about a month apart from December 2026.
The Swedish backlist
Everything below was written and published in Swedish, and is currently available in Swedish only — which is why these titles can’t yet be bought in English bookshops.
Gabriel Creuz
2 books
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, planned for at least five books; the third arrives in Sweden in 2027.
Nadia
1 book
A standalone spin-off from the Creuz novels. Nadia Albu is eleven the first time she tries to escape her tyrannical grandfather’s farm in rural Romania — long before she becomes the sharp-edged ex-girlfriend readers meet beside Gabriel Creuz.
Christopher Silfverbielke
9 books
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
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
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.
Jordens väktare
1 book
A standalone thriller with Dag Öhrlund. A group calling itself the Guardians of the Earth wages a campaign of terror across the world to force governments to take the destruction of the planet seriously — and the hunt to stop them is always a step behind.
Ammo
2 books
A geopolitical action series written by Dan alone — aircraft, arms and men caught between states, moving from a Swedish desk to the world’s hard edges.
Nexus
3 books
A high-stakes thriller series with Fredrik Sandberg, following two people pulled into a conflict that spans continents.
Rädda allt!
1 book
A standalone, written with Petersson — a lighter, sharper turn than the thrillers around it.
