Echoes from the Dead

Can you ever come to terms with a missing child?

Julia Davidsson has not.  Her five-year-old son disappeared twenty years previously on the Swedish Island of Öland.  No trace of him has ever been found.

Until his shoe arrives in the post.  It has been sent to Julia's father, a retired sea-captain still living on the island.

Soon he and Julia are piecing together fragments of the past: fragments that point inexorably to a local man called Nils Kant, known to delight in the pain of others.
