Jan Wolf scrapes a living as a pavement artist in Amsterdam. But when a close friend is abducted by sinister men in black, Wolf commits himself to a course of action that puts him on a collision course with his own elusive past - a past he knows only through nightmares. Now the police want to talk to him, the men in black want him dead, and there's an American redhead on his tail with a Lara Croft fixation and a Glock-17 in her purse... Wolf is being hunted down.

From the Author:

I've been amazed at how many people who say 'Oh, I don't normally touch crime books/thrillers/SF with a ten-foot barge-pole' then pick up 'Looking For Mr Nobody' and proceed to thoroughly enjoy it - I think that because I enjoy reading (and writing) a wide range of fiction myself, that eclectic 'vibe' comes through in my writing so that it's not solely a crime book, or a thriller, or SF, and so on - but a happy meeting of genres that crosses over to an extraordinary degree. This makes me one very happy writer!
