Echoes From the Dead

When Julia Davidsson’s son disappeared, there were no answers — only a fruitless search by police and volunteers on the remote island of Oland, off the coast of Sweden. Now Julia’s father has received a package in the mail. In it, lovingly wrapped, is one of Jens’ sandals — sandals Julia put on her son’s feet that very last morning. Suddenly Julia, who has spent twenty years in paralyzing grief, has no choice but to return — to the island she hoped she’d left behind forever, to her estranged father, who always refused to believe that Jens was dead. With only a handful of clues, the two begin questioning islanders who were present the day Jens vanished, wakening long-slumbering suspicions — and making a shocking connection to Oland’s most notorious murder case: the killing spree of a wealthy young man who fled the island and died years before Jens was even born.
Soon Julia finds herself facing truths she never imagined — about what really happened on that September day twenty years ago, about who may have crossed paths with little Jens in the fog, and how a child could truly vanish without a trace... until now.
