The Sandman, Kepler - B+

                                                      This is the fourth book in a Swedish series about Joona Linna, a police detective who in a previous novel put away a serial killer who has been in a highly-secured psychiatric facility for thirteen years with no outside access allowed.  Suddenly, a kidnap victim, assumed and declared dead quite a few years ago, appears running on a railroad track in the dead of night. The search for other victims and a likely accomplice is back on. This is a high-quality police thriller, and the good news is that there are seven books in the series. Amazon is rushing translations for publication later in the year. Thanks again to Wendell Erwin, finder of Nordic noir.
