Helene Tursten (born in Gothenburg on February 17, 1954) is a Swedish writer of crime fictionn.
The main character in her stories is Detective Inspector Irene Huss. Before becoming an author, Tursten worked as a nurse and then a dentist, but was forced to leave due to illness. During her illness, she worked as a translator of medical articles.
Several films have been made derived from Tursten's works featuring Irene Huss, produced by Illusion Films and Yellow Bird Films. These are in Swedish with Danish and English subtitles.
Irene Huss movies are a collection of films about a fictional Swedish police officer played by Angela Kovács. A total of twelve 90-minute films were produced between the years 2007 to 2011. All but three of the movies were based on the books of the same name titles, written by Tursten. The last three films were produced based instead on the books' characters and are thus independent stories. The films are set in the Gothenburg area, following Irene Huss in her work as a police officer and with her family, which is often strongly influenced by her work.
The twelve films were made in two installments: a first round of films released in 2007–2008, then a second round released in 2011. The first film played in cinemas before being released on DVD; all the others were released directly on DVD. The films have also been shown often on Kanal 5 in Sweden and ARD in Germany, as they were some of the financiers for the movies. Johan Fälemark and Hillevi Råberg were film producers in the first season. Daniel Ahlqvist was added as the third film producer in the second season.
