Française d'origine catalane, diplômée de sciences politiques et fascinée par les liens familiaux, Johana Gustawsson vit à Londres avec son mari suédois et leurs enfants. Ses romans Block 46 et Mör, disponibles dans plus de 20 pays, sont en cours d'adaptation en série TV sous la direction d'Alexandra Lamy. Ils mettent en scène un duo d'enquêtrices atypique, formé par la froide et ténébreuse Emily Roy, profileuse canadienne détachée à Scotland Yard, et l'écrivaine de true crime Alexis Castells. Dans Block 46, Emily et Alexis plongent au coeur de la folie meurtrière et ravivent la mémoire de la Shoah. Mör, leur deuxième enquête, remonte aux racines d'un autre mal, nourri dans l'ombre de Jack l'Éventreur. Avec Sang, elles suivent la piste d'un tueur jusqu'à la guerre civile espagnole et les terribles orphelinats de la peur.
