Description

"To sin or to not have sinned, that's the question" raised by the top of Amsterdamis Homicide Brigade within this installment of the collection by Janwillem van de Wetering. A Buddhist mystic, the Murder Brigade chief is down to Ny by having an underling, the nihilist Sergeant de Gier, to resolve the murder of a countryman who dies under terrible circumstances in Central Park. Like its 12 predecessors, this can be a Zen secret, and easy issues of innocence and guilt occasionally have a back-seat to further philosophical musings.
