ABOUT
THE BOOK

When Isabel disappeared, Sabine was fifteen, isolated at school and tormented by her former friend. She remembers nothing from that hot May day. Nine years later, unbidden memories are returning to Sabine. What if she saw something the day of Isabel’s disappearance? What if she could put a name to the shadowy figure in her dreams? And what if her knowledge was dangerous?
The Reunion is a tour de force from Holland’s queen of crime. Compelling, frightening and unexpectedly poignant, it will haunt you.
