"Beneath the Surface"

by Marjolein van der Gaag

"Thriller writer and former journalist Marjolein van der Gaag had four novels in print before winning The Netherlands' first-ever Silver Noose Award for best short story written in Dutch. We're happy to present here the first English translation of that winning story."

In the fall of 2025, Marjolein's story was reprinted -- along with another twenty of my translations -- in Dutch Treats, which I edited for Genius Book Publishing.
