Tonight You’re Dead

Soon to be divorced, attorney Nora Linde is finding her way as a single mother, and even falling in love again, when she’s asked by her childhood friend Detective Thomas Andreasson to help in a disturbing investigation. Marcus Nielsen, a university student, has apparently committed suicide, but it’s what he’s left behind that’s so suspicious and damning: his research into the Coastal Rangers, an elite military group where, in 1976, a young cadet died under questionable circumstances, a sadistic sergeant went free, and a case went cold.

  • "The historical passages feel vivid, with settings, characters and moods that are solidly portrayed. The events and punishments depicted in the diary are also based on real events. In the contemporary passages, the focus is on the main characters’ personal lives. Here lies both pain as well as vivid and credible descriptions of settings and characters."
