A shocking abduction rocks idyllic Sandhamn Island in an enthralling
novel of suspense by Viveca Sten, bestselling author of In the Heat of
the Moment.
With the summer season on Sandhamn comes an unsettling mystery for
Detective Inspector Thomas Andreasson. A bullied young boy has vanished
from a sailing camp on neighboring Lökholmen Island. Has the terrorized
eleven-year-old run away? Or, in this isolated vacation spot where
strangers lurk, is it something more ominous?
The disappearance has also captured the interest of Thomas's longtime
friend, attorney Nora Linde. The missing child happens to be the son of
her latest client, Christian Dufva. He is a key witness against his
partner in a high-profile embezzlement trial, and Dufva's testimony
could be devastating. It'll also be Nora's biggest win--the next step
toward a position as chief prosecutor. But with every anonymous threat
against Dufva, the stakes get higher.
When new evidence surfaces in their respective cases, new questions and
fears arise for Thomas and Nora. Time is running out to resolve them. So
is hope of finding the boy alive. Because on Sandhamn Island, the truth
is buried as deep as the secrets.
