SUSANNE STAUN (b. 1957) has made a name for herself in the Danish crime fiction scene with her books about the profiling expert Fanny Fiske, the latest of which is My Girls (2008).

KRISTINA STOLTZ (b. 1975) has written three volumes of poetry, books for children, and the novel The Tourist Hotel (2006). Her second novel, Human Track, will be published in 2011. She has lived in bohemian Nørrebro most of her adult life.

GEORG URSIN (b. 1934), a former public servant, had his literary debut at the age of seventy-one with the Kafka-esque crime novel Cherlein and Schmidt (2005).

The Danish Crime Writers Academy honored Ursin in 2008 for The Anonymous Movement.
