A gripping thriller set in the mean streets of Amsterdam. As the characters struggle to face their demons, events almost overtake them, with the plot twisting and turning unpredictably. Throughout the story, moments of lyrical calm (and a mouse named Gilbert) give some respite from the dark storyline. The novel has a strong combination of evocative scene setting, powerful action, and a cast of very different characters who each have their own troubled backstory. Crime and thriller fans will enjoy this one.

About
I never imagined when I started on this journey that I would have have so much joy in writing.
I am originally from Budapest, but for more than two decades I have been living at the beach which was my dream always.
As a journalist/broadcaster for 18 years I told so many stories about real people, real lives. Now I have the pleasure to create characters and set them free in a fantasy world.
I worked as a radio and television presenter from my early childhood but choose to be a teacher. I later worked as a marketing manager, copywriter, and as a producer in my old country. I even sang in a band for a couple of years. English is my second language and as such it is always a great challenge to express myself.
My first book Fingerprints – Tales from Somewhere - was released in 2019.
Snippets – Doing Things Differently – was written during the pandemic and is my second book a collection of new short stories.
My first crime novel, The Hummingbirds is a psychological thriller, published by Austin Macauley Publishers. It is a #1 Sunday Times Bestseller and has been well-received for its gripping plot and character development.
I had always wanted to write, ever since I realized that real people wrote all those books in the library.
