Author Jon Michelet worked on the sixth and final volume of «A Hero of the Sea» until the end, writing by hand in his sick bed. We take comfort from the fact that he did indeed manage to complete his life work.

We are very sad to report that the author Jon Michelet has died, at the age of 73. Michelet was among the pioneers of what eventually became known as Nordic Noir, with his Thygesen series in the 70s-90s. His crowning achievement was his novels about war at sea, published from 2012 and up until the present. A committed, generous, enormously knowledgeable man, he will be greatly missed by us all.
