About the book

Sailor Tessa Insinger and photographer Mortimer Davies sail to the Greek islands and along the Turkish coast for a reportage on refugees desperate to reach Europe. At sea they rescue a refugee from an overturned rubber boat: a Syrian girl. She is the only survivor of the disaster which has taken place.

Tessa and Mortimer decide to investigate what happened to the girl. In doing so they stumble across shrewd people smugglers, animated relief workers, dubious business people and shady Europeans fighting for a radical solution to the refugee tragedy. With information from the Syrian girl, Tessa and Mortimer unravel a conspiracy.

Press on Guilty Gold:

Janssen writes skilfully and swiftly, maintaining the suspense. Janssen has surpassed himself and his books so far. **** – VN Detective & Thrillergids

Guilty Gold is a successful combination of contemporary action, the experiences of a partly fictitious head of De Nederlandsche Bank during the war and historical facts. A book with verve, from which readers can learn a great deal. – NRC Handelsblad
