Kerstin Lillemor Ekman, née Hjorth, (born 27 August 1933) is a Swedish novelist. Life and career Kerstin Ekman wrote a string of successful detective novels (among others ''De tre små mästarna'' and ''Dödsklockan'') but later went on to psychological and social themes. Among her later works is ''Mörker och blåbärsris'' (1972) (set in northern Sweden) and '' Händelser vid vatten'' (1993), in which she returned to the form of the detective novel. Ekman was elected member of the Swedish Academy in 1978, but left the Academy in 1989, together with Lars Gyllensten and Werner Aspenström, due to the debate following death threats posed to Salman Rushdie.
