Synopsis

A forgotten name in the archives. A daring escape in the 17th century. A secret that echoes through time.

Rick Walters, an amateur genealogist, stumbles upon a curious name while doing research: Marie de la Motte. His discovery leads him deep into the archives—and into the remarkable tale of a young woman who, in 1666, helps Willem Bolnes—brother-in-law of the famous painter Johannes Vermeer—escape from a harsh workhouse in Delft. But where do they go? And what secret do they carry?

By coincidence, Rick teams up with Sandra Mulder, a popular TV presenter driven by ambition and eager to prove herself. Together, they follow Marie and Willem’s trail across history, uncovering truths more thrilling—and dangerous—than they ever expected.

A gripping historical novel bridging past and present, The Girl at the Window is a story of mystery, discovery, and untold legacies.

The first book in the Walters-Mulder series, featuring an unlikely duo drawn into investigations that blur the line between buried secrets and present-day truths.

"Bold, distinctive, and innovative, Peters manages to establish his name in the literary world by fully following his own path—in the spirit of his characters."
—Thrillzone

For fans of dual-timeline historical fiction, Dutch Golden Age intrigue, and suspenseful quests into the past.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

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.
