Nordin Agency is thrilled to welcome author Jina Zachrisson to the agency! Jina lives with her husband and two sons in a suburb outside of Stockholm. She has spent most of her career in the financial industry holding several important roles, most lately as the Managing Director at Goldman Sachs.

Her time in the business and financial world opened her eyes to the different structures in society. This led her to writing Power Shift? – Gender Equality According to the Female Business Elite, a book that examines how the most successful women in Sweden view gender equality, and what they have done to reach top positions in a society that is still mostly dominated by men.

This experience wet Zachrisson’s appetite for writing and in February 2025 her psychological suspense novel The Au Pair had its debut. The idea for the book was born when her own family welcomed their first au pair, something that came with many perks and challenges. The book has already received some stellar reviews and hit the bestseller lists in Sweden. Jina also recently appeared on Sweden’s biggest morning TV show “Nyhetsmorgon” to talk about the book.

“… the kind of dangerous audiobook that makes you miss the bus stop, pick up the wrong kid from preschool, get burned by flames as a result of a missed fire alarm and other similar quality markers.”
– Dagens Nyheter

“It’s a suspense novel almost entirely without violence, but it’s one of the scarier things I’ve read.”
– Lotta Olsson

“The Au Pair is a well-written psychological suspense novel”.
– BTJ
