The first installment in a new Dutch trilogy which draws parallels with Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series

A young boy is found in woods outside Amsterdam. Broken and bloody, he appears to be the victim of a brutal hit-and-run.

Investigative journalist Farah Hafez, on visiting the site where the boy was found, comes across a burnt-out car with two bodies inside - a sinister clue to something far darker than a simple road accident.

It is just the start of a journey that will lead her into an intricate web of crime and corruption and deep into a past that Farah had sought to escape - a past that nearly killed her.
