Vaga vesi - Viveca ​Sten

A hot July morning on the idyllic small island of Sandhamn. A man walking his dog makes a horrifying discovery on the beach: a body wrapped in fishing nets is floating at his feet. Police Inspector Thomas Andreasson is the first to arrive at the scene. He recognizes the victim as Kristen Berggren, a bachelor from the mainland who has been missing for several months. All signs point to an accident - until another, brutally mutilated body is found near the local mission house. This time it is Berggren's uncle's daughter, whom Thomas had only recently met in Stockholm. While the islanders try to recover from the depressing news, Thomas turns to his childhood friend, local lawyer Nora Linde. Together they investigate the murders of two mysterious strangers, while also trying to find clarity in the strange twists and turns of their own lives after the summers they spent together in their youth.
