After the launch in England on the 12th of May, and in Portugal on the 23rd of the same month, June 20th marks the launch of "Madeleine" in Belgium and the Netherlands.


"There are several countries from which tourists who visit the Algarve originate and, as such, the edition of the book in Belgium and the Netherlands is of great importance. There will be someone, from some country, who will know something about the disappearance of Madeleine and who could help in the solving of this case," said Kate McCann.


"And on the other hand, any amount that results from the sales of the book will be spent on the investigation and search for Madeleine. Nothing is more important to us than finding our girl."


According to Gerry McCann: "We are hopeful that this book may help the investigation to find Madeleine in other ways, too. Our hope is that it may prompt those who have relevant information (knowingly or not) to come forward and share it with our team. Somebody holds that key piece of the jigsaw."
