Death in Summer
Published by Open Road Media
The long, bright days of Midsummer hide dark and deadly secrets in this gripping Scandinavian crime thriller.
In 1994, thirteen-year-old Fredrik Fröding lost his entire family in Europe’s worst ferry disaster, the shipwreck of MS Estonia. Twenty-five years later, still suffering from PTSD, he remains convinced that his younger brother survived. And when Fredrik thinks he sees him in a Stockholm hotel, his obsession drives him to follow the hotel’s owner to Ulvön Island to find out the truth. But a drunken Midsummer Eve leaves Fredrik unable to remember what happened—and the hotel owner dead.
A murder at the height of tourist season puts enormous pressure on Det. Sofia Hjortén to solve the case. And the reappearance of a man she had a romantic tryst with more than a decade ago is not coincidental. Fredrik Fröding has become one of her prime suspects.
As Sofia slowly circles around Fredrik, his desperate attempt to clear his name resurrects a summer camp tragedy from 1979. Flowing from the past, a current of deception and lies raises the present body count—and threatens to drag both Sofia and Fredrik under . . .
