Amsterdam Sniper

The December display of Christmas lights and decorations in streets, squares, houses and shops all over Amsterdam is magical. The holiday season is a splendid time to be in the Dutch capital, but every paradise has a snake. In the early hours of the 3rd Sunday of Advent the first victim dies with a bullet to the head. As the police are trying to get their own heads around the hideous crime, there is another killing with the same modus operandi. A vindictive sniper on a killing spree is the last thing Inspector Rinus Rompa from the Amsterdam Criminal Investigation Department (ACID) needs in his personal struggle to end the year sober and to cope with the expectations from colleagues, a partner with a high sex drive, a sulking ex-wife, and his disappointed teenage kids. With added pressure from the Commissioner, the media and the mayor's office to track down a sniper who won’t stop killing, Rompa must dig deep to survive. ‘Amsterdam Sniper’ is the first book in a series featuring Inspector Rinus Rompa and his colleagues from the Amsterdam Criminal Investigation Department (ACID).
