Harbor by John Ajvide Lindqvist

From Kirkus Reviews: "Scandinavian writers dominate the police-procedural genre. Are they now bent on taking over horror? Swedish creepmeister Lindqvist is hot on the case. The author of one of the scariest vampire novels to have come out in years, Let Me In, Lindqvist drifts squarely into Stephen King territory with his latest. Domarö [is] an island not far from the Swedish capital where hoary old fishermen mend their nets and rough-edged yokels sharpen their knives, even as smart urbanites zip about in their fine cars and well-made clothes. One of those city slickers, a pensive fellow named Anders, suffers a terrible blow when his daughter, Maja, sees something mysterious, goes to have a look and disappears. [O]thers on this island have gone missing, too—boatloads of them, with cases of schnapps as a gift to the critters that dwell in the spectral Baltic waters.Will Anders ever find his daughter? Perhaps, perhaps not—and therein hangs the tale. Perhaps not a book to read by the seashore, if you're literal-minded. A spooky pleasure, expertly told."
