In the Name of Truth

Sandhamn Murders, Book 8

By: Viveca Sten, Marlaine Delargy - translator

Narrated by: Angela Dawe

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.

Great Mystery Series

I just finished the last book in the Sandhamn series. I thoroughly enjoyed these mysteries. The stories were so good that I listened to all 8 in just a couple days. I enjoyed watching the main characters live their lives as they solved different mysteries. The books are very well written. It took a while to figure out who 'dunnit in each book'. Great mysteries.

A complete world

Well rounded characters, compete with virtues and vices. Excellent atmospheric word pictures that add extra dimensions to the stories. Complex story lines where not everything is exactly as it first appears. Excellent story arc and very good endings.

Best one yet!

Love this series - characters are non-perfect people trying to make a difference. Viveca Sten had many flawed characters who got what they deserved in the end.

Another great story

I love this series. The content is great and the narrator does a great job.
