    Deadly Secrets
    • Personal gain or political principle? That's the question Pieter Posthumus must answer in the third of the Amsterdam Lonely Funerals series, when a controversial delegate at an environmental conference is attacked and left for dead...

      Deadly Secrets
    • The second in the atmospheric Amsterdam-set crime series, which combines the city's old-world charm with contemporary issues of corruption, immigration and crime. A minute can make all the difference... Pieter Posthumus is enjoying a quiet drink in his favourite bar when the screaming starts. A minute later, the owner of the guesthouse next door rushes in: one of her tenants has been murdered. Marloes, the guesthouse owner, is an odd but kind soul. Posthumus cannot believe it when she is arrested - for both her tenant Zig's murder and another death years before. He knows there are questions unanswered: what is the link between the two cases? Why are people so keen to think Marloes is guilty? And why did Zig paint just one picture every year - a copy of a Dutch master, but with one peculiar twist? As his investigation progresses, he comes to see that a few minutes can mean all the difference in the world: between saving a life and taking one; between innocence and guilt. And that sometimes asking questions leads to a truth that's hard to bear.

      Lonely Graves
    • Pieter Posthumus is a member of Amsterdam's Lonely Funerals team. It's his responsibility to give the anonymous or abandoned dead a decent send-off. A determined, passionate man, Postumus cannot let things go when they don't seem quite right. When a young Moroccan immigrant is found in the Prinsengracht canal, the police write it off as an accident or suicide. Posthumus is sure there's more to it than that. He takes up the case and starts digging - an investigation that leads to him getting caught up in a terror plot and in the way of the Dutch secret service.

      Lonely Graves. Das Büro der einsamen Toten, englische Ausgabe
    • Pieter Posthumus ermittelt wieder – diesmal im Rotlichtviertel von Amsterdam. In einer Pension ist ein Gast ermordet worden. Bald steht die schräge Wirtin Marloes unter Verdacht. Posthumus zweifelt an ihrer Schuld und nimmt die Ermittlungen auf und begreift allmählich, dass eine Minute manchmal den Ausschlag gibt: zwischen Unschuld und Schuld, zwischen einem Leben, das geretten werden kann, und einem, das verloren ist. Und dass Fragen manchmal Wahrheiten ans Licht bringen, die nur schwer zu ertragen sind.

      Een dode man in een zolderkamer, een verminkt lijk in de Prinsengracht. Pieter Posthumus, medewerker van het Team Uitvaarten van de Gemeente Amsterdam, regelt begrafenissen voor dit soort anonieme lijken. En de twee onbekende doden laten Posthumus niet los. Hij is ervan overtuigd dat hij een moordenaar op het spoor is, ook al denkt de politie er anders over. Op zoek naar de waarheid raakt Posthumus verzeild in de schimmige wereld van terrorisme en geheime diensten en brengt daarmee niet alleen zichzelf maar ook anderen in gevaar.
