Spring Tide

In this accomplished present-day thriller from scriptwriters Börlind and Börlind, 23-year-old Olivia Rönning, a police academy student, is encouraged to pick out a cold case from the police files and apply modern forensic tools unavailable to the original investigators to the analysis. She chooses a case from 1987—one that her policeman father worked on—in which a boy witnessed a young woman being buried to her neck in sand on a Nordkoster beach and left to drown as the tide came in. Meanwhile, a gang of unidentified youths is beating up the homeless in and around Stockholm and posting videos of their attacks on the Internet. Could these attacks be linked to the past? How dangerous can investigating a 24-year-old murder be? As Olivia ropes in her father’s former colleagues, an intricate tale of social delinquency and crimes in high places emerges, building to a nail-biting finish. [em]Agency: Grand Agency (Sweden).
