Anne Holt

Anne Holt (born November 16, 1958 in Larvik) is a Norwegian author and lawyer. She grew up in Lillestrøm and Tromsø, and moved to Oslo in 1978 where she lives today with her registered partner Anne Christine Kjær (also known as Tine Kjær) and their daughter Iohanne. Holt graduated with a law degree from the University of Bergen in 1986, and worked for The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) in the period 1984 - 1988. She then worked at the Oslo Police Department for two years, earning her right to practice as a lawyer in Norway. In 1990 she returned to NRK, where she worked one year as a journalist and anchor woman for the news program "Dagsrevyen".

Anne Holt started her own law practice in 1994, and served as Minister of Justice in Cabinet Jagland for a short period from November 25 1996 to February 4, 1997. She resigned for health reasons, and was replaced by Gerd-Liv Valla.

In 1993 she made her debut as a novelist with the crime novel "Blind gudinne", featuring the lesbian police officer Hanne Wilhelmsen. The two novels "Løvens gap" (1997) and "Uten ekko" (2000) are co-authored with her former state secretary Berit Reiss-Andersen.

She is one of the most successful crime novelists in Norway.
