After the debut “The Hypnotist,” which became an international sensation, the world is holding its breath, waiting for every new book about the adventures of the Stockholm detective Jonne Linn. “The Sandman” is the fourth novel in this detective series loved by readers and listeners.
Police find a young man wandering along the railway tracks—barely alive from hypothermia and a lung infection. At the hospital, it turns out that, according to the documents, the young man has been dead for seven years. His supposed murderer, Walter Jurek, once arrested by Jonne Linn, has been sentenced to compulsory psychiatric treatment and is in an isolation ward. New evidence forces the police to return to a case that had long been closed.
The matter suddenly takes a dangerous turn, and if someone doesn’t get inside the plans of a deluded maniac, very soon an irreparable tragedy will happen.
