Among the works that have gathered most attention is Regissören (The Director, 2006) a novel about Ingmar Bergman. Regissören was nominated for several awards, including the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize and has been translated into 11 languages.[1]

Together with his wife Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril, Alexander writes under the pseudonym Lars Kepler,[2] author of the Joona Linna series.

In 2009, with his ninth novel Diplomaten, he was published, which is a fictional story about a Swedish diplomat's struggle to disarm Iraq in 2003. There is no doubt that Hans Blix is the main character in the parallel universe that the novel constitutes. Both foreword and afterwords state that the diplomat's private sphere is as fictitious as the public is truthful.[3][4]
