Det han skriver om polisarbete är autentiskt eftersom han befinner sig mitt i verksamheten.Han arbetade sammanlagt 13 veckor i Thailand efter Tsunamin. Mycket av det som beskrivs i ’Dödens våg’ är självupplevt, medan själva mordintrigen naturligtvis är fiktiv.Norgren kom ut med fyra polisromaner på Bonniers under 90-talet: ’Livsfarlig last’ 1991, ’Begärligt byte’ 1992, ’Åtgärd: eliminera’ 1994 samt ’Dödlig drift’ 1995. ’Dödlig drift’ återutgavs 1999 i samband med att den hade biopremiär som långfilm.
