Torquil MacLeod is an advertising copywriter and author. Born in Edinburgh, he now lives in Cumbria with his wife, Susan. He came up with the idea for his Malmo Mysteries after visiting the elder of his two sons in southern Sweden and befriending two police detectives (both of whom worked out of the Ystad police station!). MEET ME IN MALMO and MISSING IN MALMO are the first and third Anita Sundstrom crime novels. Torquil is working on a fourth title which should be available in early 2015. He still visits Malmo regularly to see his Swedish grandson.

'A readable, entertaining debut novel; I hope that Anita Sundstrom will be assigned to more cases in future books.' Euro Crime 'Crammed with adventure, this book has more twists and turns than a plate of spaghetti.' Lancashire Telegraph
