Echoes from the Dead


This thriller by Johan Theorin is set on the remote island of Őland, Sweden. Julia Davisson’s little boy Jens disappeared into the fog years ago and was never found. Julia is slowly recovering from the loss of her son with the help of her father Gerlof and a policeman named Lennart Henriksson. She isn’t going through nearly as many bottles of red wine as she had been while she was living in Stockholm. This thriller jumps about in time from shortly before World War ii to the present. All signs point to Nils Kant, the local villain, having kidnapped and killed little Jens—the only problem is, he died ten years before Jens’ disappearance. So what happened to Jens and will Julia finally find closure?--Barb P.
