The Streetbird — Janwillem Van De Wetering

The ninth Amsterdam Cops mystery

Sergeant de Gier spots a vulture at the scene of a murder in Amsterdam's red light district. The victim, a despicable and widely hated pimp, is now only a police matter to be disposed of with typical Dutch tidiness. However, once Grijpstra, de Gier and the canny commissaris get involved, their search leads to a denouement infinitely more shocking than the crime itself.
