Om forfatteren

Jan Oskar Sverre Lucien Henri Guillou (Swedish pronunciation: [¹jɑːn ɡɪ¹juː], French: [ɡiju]; born 17 January 1944) is a French-Swedish author and journalist. Among his books are a series of spy fiction novels about a spy named Carl Hamilton, and a trilogy(+) of historical fiction novels about a Knight Templar, Arn Magnusson. He is the owner of one of the largest publishing companies in Sweden, Piratförlaget (Pirate Publishing), together with his wife, publisher Ann-Marie Skarp, and Liza Marklund.

Guillou's fame in Sweden was established during his time as an investigative journalist. In 1973, he and co-reporter Peter Bratt exposed a secret intelligence organization in Sweden, Informationsbyrån (IB). He is still active within journalism as a column writer for the Swedish evening tabloid Aftonbladet.

In October 2009, the tabloid Expressen accused Guillou of having been active as an agent of the Soviet spy organization KGB between 1967 and 1972. Guillou confirmed he had a series of contacts with KGB representatives during this period, he also confirms having received payments from KGB, but maintains that his purpose was to collect information for his journalistic work. The accusation was based on documents released from the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) and interviews with former KGB Colonel Oleg Gordievsky. In a later trial, Expressen denied having accused Guillou of having been a Soviet spy, claiming that this was a false interpretation of its headlines and reporting.

Den demokratiske terrorist

2. Bind

Det tyske Verfassungsschutz er klar til det endelige opgør med de sidste revolutionære kampceller. Men man mangler manden, der kan infiltrere RAF og dermed forhindre den aktion, som ifølge politiets oplysninger skal finde sted i Sverige. Valget falder på Carl Hamilton, en svensk greve med specialuddannelse fra CIA´s agentskole i USA og en fortid som medlem af pro-palæstinensiske støttegrupper.
Hamilton opbygger sit image med et bankkup og revolutionære udtalelser i de rette miljøer, og inden længe er han optaget i terrorgruppen, og det dødsensfarlige dobbeltspil tager fart. Han kastes ud i en international aktion, hvor hverken de svenske eller de tyske myndigheder vil kendes ved ham, hvis det går galt. Han har kun sine egne evner at stole på, mens han optræder som brutal, terrorinteresseret svensk fribytter blandt mistænksomme og opkørte RAF-terrorister.
