Overview

The trail of a recent crime leads Inspector DeKok to Bloedberg (Blood Mountain), Belgium, a neighborhood in Antwerp. Seems a man was fished from the Scheldt River, and DeKok has been summoned to help with the investigation.

At a funeral back in Amsterdam, things are just as murky as the corpse’s river, when DeKok discovers a man among the mourners who has been officially dead for at least two years. Events further darken DeKok’s view of the case when the widow of the recently buried victim files a complaint of forgery; her recently deceased husband’s bank account has been emptied. DeKok soon finds himself drawn back to Bloedberg, amidst one of the most bizarre and cunning crimes yet.

Reviews

Review By: Shelley Glodowski,   MBR Bookwatch - March 1, 2008

The appeal of Baantjer? The gritty realism; the attention to detail in the plotting; the characterizations; and the impossibility of the reader to guess whodunit. Baantjer is a gem whose audience knows the value of his work; his prowness with a tale; and his wisdom. Inspector DeKok is a maverick and is one of a kind.
