Thomas Enger

Thomas Enger is a mystery and thriller writer from Oslo, Norway. He was born to a father who was a teacher of English and French, and a physiotherapist mother that he likes to describe as a physioterrorist. Growing up with highly educated parents, he learned the importance of education and health very early in life. Keeping in shape and maintaining healthy lifestyles was also important in his family, and hence he spent a lot of time playing soccer, dreaming of one day playing professionally for Manchester United. While he had a lot of ambition for his footballing career, it came to nothing as the highest level he ever reached was playing in the Norwegian third division for Kisa/Ull. He had a great childhood, though he asserts that he may have watched too many girls and watched R rated movies sooner than he should have. During his college years, he would work a variety of summer jobs that included mowing lawns, garbage disposal man at the airport, waiter, and kiosk attendant at a mall in Lorenskog.
