On My Father's Watch: Is Knowing The Truth Always Better?

By Jack J. Amstel

A thriller with fast-paced action and introspective reflection.

Teddy's father vanished without a trace eleven years ago. He was never found.
Now it's 2018, and Teddy is wrapping up his MSc degree when his uncle - an Amsterdam real estate tycoon with deep ties to organized crime - is assassinated.
Marella, a young doctor with a sharp eye and strong convictions, challenges Teddy to uncover the truth. Their investigation starts as a personal search but quickly spirals into something far bigger: a web of corruption and murder tied to Amsterdam's much delayed and wildly over-budget North/South subway line.
As they dig deeper, they uncover a terrorist plot targeting the subway's opening ceremony - one that can only be stopped by teaming up with a dangerous crime boss connected to Teddy's father's disappearance.
Their investigation reveals the dark mechanics of billion-euro infrastructure projects, where public and private players collude in secrecy, and where cost overruns aren't accidents - they're strategy. Those profiting will do anything to stay in the shadows.
In the end, Teddy gets the answers - and the revenge.
But truth comes at a steep price.
