Biography

[edit]

Lind was born on the island of Otterøya (now part of Namsos) in Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. He made his literary debut in 1983 with Stengte dører. He was awarded the Riverton Prize in 1989 for the crime novel 13 takters blues.[1]

His crime novel Hotell Tordenskjold (1985) introduced the characters "Kristian António Steen", a hotel porter of Spanish descent, and police officer "Breheim", as detectives. The same detectives also solved crime problems in the sequels Ormens gift (1986) and 13 takters blues (1989).[2] Further crime novels are Som to dråper blod (1993), Usynlige spor (1994), and Hysj (1996).[1]

Lind published the song collection Bakfot bok in 1980.[1][2] His plays include Korsvikaspillet (1995) and Skottet i Buvika (2008).[1] The Drakeblod series (3 volumes 1988–1991) for young adults is set in the Viking Age.[2]
