Secrets, vengeance, and a brutal murder unsettle an idyllic winter
paradise in a blood-chilling novel of suspense by the acclaimed
author of Hidden in Snow and the Sandhamn Murder series. In the
Swedish ski resort of Åre, crime is rare. Certainly nothing so
brutal as the murder of Johan Andersson, a former Olympic skier
found bound and beaten to death in the forest. According to his
distraught wife, he didn’t have any enemies in the world. To
Detective Inspectors Hanna Ahlander and Daniel Lindskog, the crime
proves otherwise. But what could have provoked such rage? And in
whom? As Hanna and Daniel search for answers, Rebecka Ekvall, a
vulnerable pastor’s wife, is trapped in an abusive marriage.
Isolated from her congregation, she’s afraid of her husband and
even more fearful for her life. Because Rebecka carries a fateful
secret. But she isn’t the only one in Åre with something to
hide. As Hanna and Daniel continue to untangle the dark histories
of a growing list of suspects, they realize that Johan’s murder
is just the beginning of a disturbing case about survival and
revenge—at any cost.

Sandhamn Island's archipelago is a beautiful place to visit. For a
mother on the run, it's the only place to hide in a novel of
escalating suspense by Viveca Sten, bestselling author of Still
Waters. Building a case against Andreis Kovac is a risky strategy
for prosecutor Nora Linde. A violent key player in Stockholm's drug
trade and untouchable when it comes to financial crimes, he has the
best defense money can buy. To topple Andreis's empire, Nora's
working a different angle. It's personal. Nora's critical witness
is Andreis's wife, Mina-if she'll testify. Mina has suffered her
husband's rage too long. It's nearly cost her her life. Still
carrying the traumas of the Bosnian War, Andreis can be triggered
like an explosive. He must be taken down. And as the trial looms,
Mina and her infant son must disappear. The police have found her a
safe place to hide on Runmaroe Island in Sandhamn's archipelago.
But there's no shelter from a man as powerful and merciless as
Andreis. Especially when he's being crossed. His campaign of terror
has just begun. He's prepared to crush anyone who stands in his
way: Mina, Nora, and everyone they know and love. Andreis is coming
for them. This time, Nora is on the defense.
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.

to his childhood friend, local lawyer Nora Linde. Together, they

outsiders-while trying to make sense of the difficult twists their
own lives have taken since the shared summer days of their youth.

The tiny Swedish island of Sandhamn has always been a haven for
lawyer Nora Linde. With trouble brewing in her marriage, she finds
its comforts more welcome than ever, even in the depths of winter.
That is, until her two young sons trip across a severed arm in the
woods. The boys' gruesome discovery will once again connect Nora
with her childhood friend Thomas Andreasson, now a local police
detective. When the limb is identified as belonging to a
twenty-year-old woman who disappeared without a trace months
earlier, what had been a missing persons case takes on a whole new
urgency. Nora and Thomas delve deeply into the woman's final hours,
each of them wrestling not only with the case but with the private
demons it awakens in them. As they do, they'll find themselves
drawn into the history of Sandhamn and the tensions that have been
simmering just below the surface for more than a hundred years.
What do the new arrivals on Sandhamn Island have to fear? Their own
secrets-in this gripping novel of suspense by the bestselling
author of In the Heat of the Moment. The new summer house on
Sandhamn Island is an architectural dream for its owner, Carsten
Jonsson. It's a nightmare for the locals. The venture capitalist
has flouted local traditions, property lines, and the natural
beauty of the coastline. He's also too wealthy and arrogant to heed
the anonymous warnings to leave. The threats escalate when his
guest lodge is burned to the ground and an unidentifiable corpse is
found in the charred ruins. Detective Inspector Thomas Andreasson
isn't sure if it's murder or a tragic accident. Until his friend
attorney Nora Linde is drawn into the investigation. Nora's
emotional investment in Carsten's fragile and fearful wife, Celia,
is yielding a new level of suspicion: that the Jonssons are hiding
more than anyone can imagine. Now Thomas and Nora must sift through
the ashes of a puzzling crime and step into the shadows of a
powerful family, whose deadly secrets are coming to light on
Sandhamn.
What's a lie among friends? It's murder-in this riveting thriller
by Viveca Sten, bestselling author of Tonight You're Dead... It's
Midsummer's Eve, the celebration of the longest day of the year,
and on Sandhamn it's the longest party of the year. But the fun
comes to a dead halt when a young reveler is murdered, a teenage
girl is found drugged and dazed on the beach, and other young women
vanish. So far, what links the victims is a mystery. For Nora Linde
and her new boyfriend, Jonas Skoeld, the crimes are personal: one
of the missing girls is Wilma, Jonas's daughter. And her
disappearance could test Nora and Jonas's relationship in ways they
never expected. Thrust into the investigation, they soon discover
that it's more than a case of bad blood between friends. But the
truth, which has receded into a haze of carousing, drugs, and
liquor, is getting harder to see. If Nora and Jonas are going to
find out what happened to Wilma, they'd better do it fast-before
the ebbing tides sweep away all the terrible secrets of that night
on Sandhamn Island.
Soon to be divorced, attorney Nora Linde is finding her way as a
single mother, and even falling in love again, when she's asked by
her childhood friend Detective Thomas Andreasson to help in a
disturbing investigation. Marcus Nielsen, a university student, has
apparently committed suicide, but it's what he's left behind that's
so suspicious and damning: his research into the Coastal Rangers,
an elite military group where, in 1976, a young cadet died under
questionable circumstances, a sadistic sergeant went free, and a
case went cold. When two of Nielsen's contacts are also found
dead-and diaries of their tortuous training turn up missing-Thomas
and Nora are certain that whatever happened three decades ago is
unforgivable. And for someone who wants to keep those secrets
buried-unforgettable. Now they must fight against time to expose a
cover-up that hasn't yet claimed its last victim.
