Lund, Sweden, 1998. A two-year-old boy vanishes from his preschool. The case goes cold, leaving a community haunted and a mother broken.
Twenty years later. A whispered secret in the icy north of Sweden reignites the hunt.
When Chief Inspector Sara Vallén reopens the file, she uncovers a web of violence stretching across the country. The kidnapping was only the first piece of a much larger, deadlier puzzle. To solve it, she must infiltrate a shadowy, fanatical brotherhood ruled by a ruthless mastermind.
Written by a former police officer, "Without a Trace" is a perfect blend of authentic police work and slow-burn, atmospheric mystery. Fans of "The Chesnut Man" will love this deeply haunting Scandinavian thriller.
