Unsolved Crimes - The Perfect Family in the Neighborhood: They had everything. And then nothing. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798278122586)

Nora Van den Berg, a former prosecutor on medical leave, lives quietly in a residential development in Utrecht. Across the street, the Meijer family. Three children, a withdrawn mother, a house whose shutters sometimes stay closed too long.

When the Meijers disappear on a Monday morning, Nora notices details her neighbors don't. She knows case files. She knows how people run. She also knows what it costs to stay out of it.

She stays out of it for three days.

What she discovers pulls her back to a forgotten consultation, a fire that was too clean, and a wrongful conviction that sent an innocent man to prison five years earlier. The threads converge on a single name - Pieter De Smedt, a respected Belgian prosecutor - and on a network that has been monitoring protected witnesses from the inside.

Nora is no longer a prosecutor. She has no warrant, no authorization, no safety net. She has instincts fifteen years at the prosecutor's office didn't erase, and a memory that refuses to give up what it once received.

Unsolved Crimes, Book 1 is a Nordic-style thriller built on the slowness of the real, the precision of facts, and the ordinary cost of decisions you think you can take back.
