Ilkka Remes (born 13 December 1962), is a Finnish author of thrillers and young adult literature. Remes was born in Luumäki as Petri Pykälä. Remes has stated he uses a pseudonym because he does not want to be considered only a thriller writer, and wants to be able to write other genres of books in the future. Remes lives in Belgium with his wife and two children. He was awarded the ''Kalevi Jäntti Literature Award'' in 1997, the ''Clue of the Year Award'' from the Finnish Detective Novel Society in 1999 and the Olvi Foundation Literature Award in 1999. The Finnish Minister for Foreign Affairs Erkki Tuomioja commented on Remes' book ''Ruttokellot'' on his homepage in January 2001. His review on the book was rather negative and he found it troubling that so many of the antagonists in Remes' books were of Russian origin. (see Russophobia). Remes has written 15 thrillers which have enjoyed significant domestic popularity.
