A suicide. A drowned man. A sudden death. It's all in a day's work for Pieter Posthumus.

In Amsterdam, the Lonely Funerals team exists to make sure that no one goes to the grave unmourned.
Posthumus takes that responsibility seriously.
A careful, humane man, he works hard to find out all he can about the anonymous or abandoned dead entrusted to his care.

So when a young Moroccan immigrant is found in the Prinsengracht canal in suspicious circumstances, Posthumus cannot let it go.
The police may call it accident or suicide; he is sure there's more to it.
He takes up the case and starts digging... an investigation that leads to him getting caught up in a terror plot and in the way of an elite police unit.

Discover an Amsterdam beyond the charms and the canals, where Pieter Posthumus aims to find justice for all - both the living and the dead.
