The Carl Hamilton novels is a book series by Swedish author and journalist Jan Guillou centered on the fictional Swedish spy Carl Gustaf Gilbert Hamilton. The main character is an elite military officer working for the Swedish Security agency and Intelligence agency during the end of the Cold War, residing in Stockholm but active internationally.
Carl Hamilton has been called "Sweden's James Bond", but the plot of Guillou's novels also has a heavy focus on politics and journalism.[1] One commentator said the books "... place [Guillou] besides John le Carré and Len Deighton" (famous British spy novelists).[2] The first novel was published in 1986 and the series is a best-seller in Sweden, with more than 10 million sold copies.[3] The character of Carl Hamilton has also appeared in a number of film and television adaptations.[4]
