The Gabriel Creuz series, readable and listenable here in full.

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.

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.

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.
