Echoes from the Dead by Johan Theorin
'An impressive debut novel' The Times 'Fantastic' Guardian Can you ever come to terms with a missing child? Soon he and Julia are piecing together fragments of the past: fragments that point inexorably to a local man called Nils Kant, known to delight in the pain of others.
Evocative and haunting, with a subtle sense of menace that grows with each page -- Simon Beckett, author of The Chemistry of Death
