From the acclaimed master of action and suspense. The all time classic.
Paul Sherman of Interpol's Narcotics Bureau flies to Amsterdam on the trail of a dope king.
With enormous skill the atmosphere is built up: Amsterdam with its canals and high houses; stolid police; psychopaths; women in distress and above all murder.
Sherman's pursuit of the elusive kingpin takes him through the city's labyrinthine canals, a testament to the book's adventure and fiction genre. The narrative's top-notch suspense and the protagonist's best efforts to navigate through the high houses and stolid police make this a must-read.
For fans of Frederick Forsyth (The Veteran), Nevil Shute (Pastoral), Ken Follett (The Armour of Light), Edward Marston (Murder on the Marmora), and Eric Ambler (Journey into Fear).
