A.C. Baantjer is also the author of Dekok and the Death of a Clown, Dekok and the Geese of Death and DeKok and Murder by Melody (all available from Turnaround). A former Detective Inspector of the Amsterdam Police, his characters reflect those individuals encountered during his 38 year career in the police.
"DeKok's maverick personality makes him a compassionate judge of other outsiders and an astute analyst of antisocial behaviour." - The New York Times Book Review "Baantjer's Iaconic, rapid-fire storytelling has spun out a surprisingly complex web of mysteries." - Kirkus Reviews "It's easy to understand the appeal of Amsterdam police detective DeKok; he hides his intelligence behind a phlegmatic demeanour, like an old dog that lazes beside the fireplace and only shows his teeth when the house is threatened." - Los Angeles Times "Shrewd, compassionate and dedicated, DeKok makes a formidable opponent for criminals and a worthwhile competitor for the attention of Simenon's Maigret fans." - Library Journal"
