#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • This installment in the Killer Instinct Series tells the chilling story of a manipulative serial killer and the two brilliant police agents who must beat him at his own game, Detectives Joona Linna and Saga Bauer.
“With its tight, staccato chapters and cast of dangerous wraiths lurking everywhere, The Sandman is a nonstop fright.” —Janet Maslin, The New York Times
Late one night, outside Stockholm, Mikael Kohler-Frost is found wandering. Thirteen years earlier, he went missing along with his younger sister. They were long thought to have been victims of Sweden's most notorious serial killer, Jurek Walter, now serving a life sentence in a maximum security psychiatric hospital. Now Mikael tells the police that his sister is still alive and being held by someone he knows only as the Sandman. Years ago, Detective Inspector Joona Linna made an excruciating personal sacrifice to ensure Jurek's capture. He is keenly aware of what this killer is capable of, and now he is certain that Jurek has an accomplice. He knows that any chance of rescuing Mikael's sister depends on getting Jurek to talk, and that the only agent capable of this is Inspector Saga Bauer, a twenty-seven-year-old prodigy. She will have to go under deep cover in the psychiatric ward where Jurek is imprisoned, and she will have to find a way to get to the psychopath before it's too late—and before he gets inside her head.

The fourth book of the Joona Linna series which hasn’t lost its suspenseful grip.
In The Sandman the reader is confronted with an old case, which somehow is still connected to Joona Linna himself. For a long time he thought to have captured the right person, but as a long missed person reappears he’s not so sure anymore. The start of a new game begins, who is playing by the rules and who is out for revenge?
A fast paced gripping story with some gory details which might not be for everyone. Apart from that I found it a pleasure to read. The writing duo has a way to create a well liked balance between the atmosphere and characterisations. In every story you find out a bit more about the protagonists, which in turn helps to like them even more and grow fond of them easily. It’s easy to read as a standalone or in order of the series, the reader has the choice. Either way you could get addicted, but no worries there are more books to follow.
