Emelie Schepp (born September 5, 1979, in Motala) is a Swedish crime author. Her crime novels are centered around Norrköping and focus on the main figure Jana Berzelius, a public prosecutor.[1] In 2013, she made her debut with the crime novel Märkta för livet (English: Marked for Life, trans. Rod Bradbury) which sold 40,000 copies in just six months. She then signed a book deal for three books with Wahlström & Widstrand in the fall of 2014, re-releasing her debut book the same year.[1]
Her four Berzelius books have sold over a million copies worldwide.[2] The rights of the series have been sold to thirty countries, and the books have been translated into Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Spanish and Turkish (January 2019).[3] An adaptation of Märkta för livet as Jana: Marked for Life was broadcast in 2024.[4][5][6]
