Described by critics as the “King of Helsinki Noir”, Antti Tuomainen was an award-winning copywriter before making his debut as a suspense author in 2007 Photo: SUPPLIED
Antti Tuomainen writes grisly crime novels from his home in one of the happiest countries on Earth: Finland -- only he makes them funny. Deeply, darkly funny.
His success took off in 2016 with "The Man Who Died". Now, he's got a blockbuster movie adaptation in the works with American screen giant Steve Carrell, for his book "The Rabbit Factor".
His latest book, 'The Burning Stones' is murder meets sauna.
Antti talks his own brand of noir with Emile.
The Burning Stones was listed as Book of the Year in The Sunday Times and The Guardian, and TV and film adaptations of his other work abound. Photo: SUPPLIED
