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 bodied - 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?
The story itself is great, the way it is told a lot less. To many coincidences follow each other and the many layers of the book are unlikely. There’s a growing feeling of negativity throughout the book which did not speak to me.
