马伊·舍瓦尔，佩尔·瓦勒，著名瑞典侦探小说作家。这对夫妇共同创作了侦探小说史上著名的马丁·贝克探案系列。两人从一九六五年开始，每年出版一部以警探马丁·贝克为主角的小说。他们有意识地逐年参照社会环境的变迁，以及人心世情的转换。直到一九七五年瓦勒去世，夫妇俩共创作了十部小说。 舍瓦尔与瓦勒都是坚定的共产主义者，他们决定通过小说对社会进行反思：“我们把创作犯罪小说当作解部刀，一刀一刀划开资本主义福利国家的假象和弊病。” 这套马丁·贝克探索系列，被称为史上最佳“警察探案小说”之一，也是同类小说中的不朽经典，英国推理界权威H.R.F.基廷甚至作出“人生尽在其中”的高度评价。此外，这套书也是瑞典侦探小说有史以来第一次打入国际市场，而且深获欧美侦探小说界推崇，并在销量方面取得傲人的成绩的作品。马丁·贝克案系列风格独树一帜，对侦探小说的创作影响深远。
