Harri Nykanen, born in Helsinki in 1953, was a well-known crime journalist and is now dedicated to writing fiction. The first in the Ariel Kafka series was Nights of Awe. Nykanen's work exposes the local underworld through the eyes of the criminal, the terrorist and now from the point of view of an eccentric Helsinki police inspector.
Praise for Nights of Awe, first in the series: "Ariel Kafka wins the award for most intriguing name for a fictional detective, and it suits this impressively labyrinthine mystery series." Time Out "An interesting plot told in an entertaining, straight-forward style by a welcome new voice.' Literary Review "Overall, it's a great Finnish crime fiction novel from Harri Nykanen, very different from the style in most Swedish crime fiction novels, for instance. Recommended!" Nordic Bookblog
