Frank Peters: Introspective Noir from the Dutch Countryside Frank Peters (b. 1962) lives and works in Babberich, a quiet border village in the Netherlands where his stories take root. With his debut novel, The Girl at the Window, he stepped into the Dutch-language thriller genre. His style is cinematic and observational, marked by psychological depth and a dry touch of humor. He writes as he lives: with an eye for detail, a sense of rhythm, and a deep fascination for people and what drives them. Beyond writing, Frank is a musician in the melancholic rock band Crescent Moon, where he plays alongside his sons and brother. His stories are not a sprint to the conclusion, but a layered journey through inner landscapes, quiet tensions, and moral gray zones. Always human, never sentimental. Always noir ― but never black and white.
Rick Walters, an amateur genealogist, discovers the name Marie de la Motte in the archives. In 1666, Marie persuades Willem Bolnes―the brother-in-law of the famous painter Johannes Vermeer―to escape from a workhouse in Delft with her help. Where does their journey lead, and what secret do they carry?
Rick, along with Sandra Mulder, a well-known TV presenter, dives into the history of Willem and Marie, embarking on a search more thrilling than they ever imagined.
