Stig Trenter (right) with photographer KW Gullers.

Ivar Trenter (born August 14, 1914 in Brännkyrka ( Stockholm County ), † July 4, 1967 in Stockholm ) was a Swedish journalist and detective writer .

Life

Trenter wrote his first novella at the age of seventeen and his first newspaper report in 1935 as a war correspondent in Abyssinia . Until 1936 Trenter's name was Stig Johansson. The famous detective novel EC Bentley's Trent's Last Case inspired him to later change his name and write under a pseudonym . In 1943 he gave up his career as a journalist and now devoted himself entirely to writing crime novels. In 1960 he married the writer Ulla Trenter . Stieg Trenter wrote the first 22 books alone, the last in collaboration with his wife.

Most of his novels are set in the Stockholm milieu . The main characters of his novels are the photographer Harry Friberg and his partner detective intendant Vesper Johnson . The figure Friberg is based on the friend and photographer Karl Werner Gullers (1916–1978). After Trenter's death, his wife continued the Friberg and Johnson story under her own name. But these books never reached the format of her husband's novels.

Translations of his works have appeared in France, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Germany.
