In a riveting exploration of the power the past wields over
the present, critically acclaimed author Antoinette van
Heugten writes the story of a woman whose child's life hangs
in the balance, forcing her to confront the roots of her
family's troubled history in the dark days of World War II… It's the stuff of nightmares: Nora de Jong returns home from
work one ordinary day to find her mother has been murdered.
Her infant daughter is missing. And the only clue is the
body of an unknown man on the living-room floor, clutching a
Luger in his cold, dead hand. Frantic to find Rose, Nora puts aside her grief and
frustration to start her own search. But the contents of a
locked metal box she finds in her parents' attic leave her
with as many questions as answers—and suggest the killer was
not a stranger. Saving her daughter means delving deeper
into her family's darkest history, leading Nora half a world
away to Amsterdam, where her own unsettled past and memories
of painful heartbreak rush back to haunt her. As Nora feverishly pieces together the truth from an old
family diary, she's drawn back to a city under Nazi
occupation, where her mother's alliances may have long ago
sealed her own–and Rose's—fate.
