The tulips are in bloom and spring is caressing the Netherlands. In Amsterdam, streets, parks and café terraces are packed with locals and tourists getting the most out of some exceptionally mild March weather. Alas, a serial killer has chosen Holy Week and the Easter weekend to terrorise the Dutch capital, upsetting the usual atmosphere of conviviality.
Inspector Rinus Rompa, having only recently returned to the Amsterdam Criminal Investigation Department from a lengthy mental and physical rehabilitation, has, by the skin of his teeth, managed to stay sober for 110 days. His white-knuckled sobriety and fragile state of mind come under severe threat as he embarks on putting a stop to a ruthless and ferocious strangler, while having to deal with mistrust and tension at HQ, an obstinate reporter, and an increasing chaotic private life.
Amsterdam Strangler is the second book featuring Inspector Rinus Rompa and his colleagues from the Amsterdam Criminal Investigation Department.
