Chris de Stoop (b. 1958) is an author and a journalist for the Flemish weekly Knack. In 2004 he was awarded the Golden Owl Readers’ Prize for Zij kwamen uit het Oosten (They Came from the East). In 2010 he wrote Vrede zij met u, zuster (Peace Be With You, Sister), about the first Jihadists to leave for Syria and Iraq. With his debut Ze zijn zo lief, meneer (They’re So Sweet, Sir 1992) he became the first to write the inside story of the international trafficking of women, a bombshell of a book that caused great commotion at home and abroad. In 2015 Dit is mijn hof  (This is My Farm) was published, which became a bestseller and of which translation rights have been sold to Germany and China to date.
