Butterfly on the Storm (Heartland Trilogy #1)

'Ambitious, intricate, riveting' The Times

** The first instalment in the bestselling original Dutch thriller**

Haunted by a past you can never escape . . .

When a young boy from Afghanistan is the victim of a brutal hit-and-run in woods outside Amsterdam journalist Farah Hafez visits the scene, seeking to discover how a child from her homeland ended up here.

Instead, she finds a burnt-out car and two bodies - sinister clues to a far darker mystery.

It is the beginning of a journey that leads her into an intricate web of crime and corruption stretching across Europe and deep into a past that Farah had once sought to escape - a past that nearly killed her.

And if she goes back will she ever make it out again?

Butterfly on the Storm is the first mystery to unravel in a tense, explosive and gripping new trilogy you won't want to put down. For lovers of Stieg Larsson's Millennium series, this fast-paced crime novel will be this year's page-turner.
