NATALIA'S PEACE, In Adrian de Hoog's new thriller, forces pushing for a more enlightened world order are pitted against ones that profit from armed conflict. Natalia's Peace is a fast-paced novel that also deftly examines the role of culture, beliefs and collective memories in today's wars, and what the international community could do to end the senseless killing.
Location: The Hague, home of the International Criminal Court. Just north of the city a private plane crashes in a dense North Sea fog. The sole passenger, though badly injured, survives. His calling card identifies him, but it shows only his name and an acronym: P.E.A.C.E. That same week a secret diplomatic initiative is launched in The Hague. Its objective is to identify far-reaching, new international initiatives to advance global peace. With rich characterizations and a fine sense of irony, de Hoog has created another satisfying and thought-provoking read.
