When the maverick inspector investigates the seemingly senseless killing of a man in Amsterdam, will Lucienne turn up again? In this gripping and tragic thriller, Freeling's irascible and unorthodox protagonist becomes involved in an extraordinary case involving murder, double identities, and the European black market.
