When what should have been a simple hit-and-run turns into a murder investigation, Journalist Farah Hafez finds herself pulled into a sinister world where nothing is as it seems. Butterfly On The Storm is the first utterly compulsive read in the bestselling Dutch thriller series: The Heartland Trilogy. A young boy is found in woods outside Amsterdam. Broken and bloody, he appears to be the victim of a brutal hit-and-run. When the police at the hospital ask what happened, the one word the boy repeats they don't understand. But journalist Farah Hafez does. She left Afghanistan as a child and she recognises her native tongue. As the boy is taken into surgery she finds herself visiting the scene of the crime, seeking to discover how a little Afghan boy came to be so far from home. Instead, she comes across a burnt-out car with two charred bodies inside - a sinister clue to something much darker than a simple road accident. It is just the start of a journey that will lead her from one twist to another in an intricate web of crime and corruption that stretches from Amsterdam all the way to Moscow, Kabul and Johannesburg and deep into a past that Farah had sought to leave behind - a past that nearly killed her. schovat popis
