I NATT ÄR DU DÖD – TONIGHT YOU’RE DEAD
BY STEN, VIVECA
When student Marcus Nielsen is found dead in his apartment, everything indicates suicide but his mother is convinced that he was murdered and begs Thomas Andreasson and his colleagues to investigate her son’s death.
Markus was working on an essay about the IRS and the military camp at the small island of Korsö outside Stockholm, where for decades young boys have been trained and put under extreme pressure in order to qualify for the Special Forces. When an old man connected to the IRS is found murdered, Thomas realises that there must be a connection between this murder and the death of the young student. Thomas asks his childhood friend Nora Linde to help him find out more about Korsö and its history. Nora has recently been through a difficult divorce, and is glad to put her mind on something else. Soon she discovers that the small island and its military camp are full of dark secrets…

Norra Västerbotten
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.
