Love in Amsterdam (Van der Valk #1 - Nicolas Freeling by Nicolas Freeling
Alluring, unstable, and frantically self-absorbed, Elsa de Charmoy was a dangerous woman, and now shes a dead one, shot with a gun bought by her former lover. Sulking in an Amsterdam jail, he swears its been years since he saw Elsa, but Inspector Van der Valk isnt quite ready to be persuaded. Like Inspector Maigret (to whom he is often compared), Van der Valk tends to pick apart the details, ideally over a good meal. And while Van der Valks ruminations may frustrate his more action-minded colleagues, they inevitably yield a surprising resolution.
