Giannisis Vagelis

Giannisis Vagelis

Vagelis Giannisis was born in 1988, in Greece, and grew up in Elefsina.  In 2006 he enrolled in University of Athens, graduating with a Bachelor’s in Primary Education, four years later.  He worked as a tutor for three years, before moving to Örebro, on October 2011.  He is now working as a freelance translator and a tutor, while completing a M.Ed. in Special Education.

Anders Economides is trying to balance his life between his family and his demanding job as an Inspector, at Örebro’s PD. Unlike many Scandinavian cops, he’s not an alcoholic; he doesn’t suffer from depression; but he’s a junkie of his own kind.  He gets his fix by solving crimes and helping justice prevail.  In fact, after quitting smoking and replacing cigarettes with a komboloi, a traditional Greek rosary, that is used by former smokers to keep their fingers busy, solving crimes is his only fix.  That explains his fixation on Johan Linné, a former Marine officer, who runs an underground drug business.
