Marja-Sisko Aalto (born 29 July 1954) is a Finnish writer of detective fiction and former minister of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.

[1] In November 2008, Aalto came out as trans woman and announced her intent to have sex reassignment surgery.

According to Aalto, her parents had decided to give her the name Marja-Sisko if she had been born a girl, as they had hoped.

The bishop of Mikkeli, Voitto Huotari, commented that there is no juridical obstacle for Aalto continuing as a vicar, but predicted that there would be problems.

The work is dedicated to the veterans of the Lapland War and continues the story of the protagonist of the previous book.
