Anne Schrijver is just twenty-two years old. She works in the picturesque Albert Cuyp market where her father has a flower stall. Brimming with personality, she’s always been popular with customers. But then she goes missing, only to be found barely alive tied to a stone angel in a graveyard, surrounded by a ring of fire. Her body contains traces of a drug which connects police to a previous case: the Sleeping Beauty murders.
But Annie seems to have been the lucky one, as a body is found nearby, freshly tattooed with three words: Sleep Baby Sleep.
It’s summer and Amsterdam is full of tourists, drunk or high on all that it has to offer. But the lively atmosphere has sinister undercurrents as a killer is at work in a city where crime pays and tensions run high. Detective Pieter Vos knows that if he is to outwit the murderer, he will need to employ everything he has to avert a greater tragedy.

‘Dark and atmospheric with breathless pacing.’
Linwood Barclay
‘David Hewson wrote a series featuring the Roman cop Nic Costa, then much-praised novelizations of the TV series The Killing, set in Copenhagen. He’s now had equal success in capturing the atmosphere and criminal culture of Amsterdam.���
The Times
‘Brimming with action and drama.’
Playlist
‘It is rare to find an author whose works seem entirely original. Hewson’s do’.
Literary Review
‘Hewson provides a cast of fascinating suspects and some haunting imagery and motifs as Vos wades through the murk and mud to a thrilling and unexpected denouement. Crime writing from a master of the genre.’
Lancashire Evening Post
‘When Hewson hits his stride it feels like you’re being treated to a masterclass in crime writing. If you have a penchant for Euro-crime procedurals, [this] is an essential new series.’
Crime Fiction Lover
