Dekok Is Knighted

Aficionados of crime in translation will be heartened to hear that DeKok is back in Murder on Blood Mountain.

The trail of a recent crime leads Inspector DeKok to a bizarre set of seemingly unconnected events: a drowned man, a case of forgery and a mourner who is officially dead. DeKok is summoned to Bloedberg (Blood Mountain) in Belgium. He is to help with the investigation of a drowned man fished out from the Scheldt River.

At a funeral back in Amsterdam, things are even murkier when DeKok discovers amongst the mourners a man who has been officially dead for two years. Events further darken DeKok's view of the case when the widow of the recently buried victim files a complaint: her deceased husband's bank account has been emptied. DeKok finds himself drawn back to Bloedberg, amidst one of the most odd and creative crimes yet.

A C Baantjer, the most widely read author in the Netherlands. is a former detective inspector with 38 years in law enforcement, and was recently knighted by the Dutch monarchy.
