Booked with Abby

Hanneke Bakker makes her living by delivering sought after goods from the black market. In her spare time, she mourns the loss of her dead boyfriend, Bas. In a time of war, it's not unusual for a client to ask her to find something. But what Mrs. Jenssen asks her to find is shocking. Hanneke finds goods, not people. Even still, Hanneke is hired to find Mirjam, a missing Jewish girl.
