It seems a man was fished from the Scheldt River, and DeKok has been summoned to help with the investigation. At a funeral back in Amsterdam, things are just as murky as the corpse's river when DeKok discovers a man among the mourners who has been officially dead for at least two years. Events further darken DeKok's view of the case when the widow of the recently buried victim files a complaint of forgery; her deceased husband's bank account has been emptied. DeKok soon finds himself drawn back to Bloedberg, amidst one of the most bizarre and cunning crime syndicates the old, gray sleuth has faced yet. A.C. Baantjer is the most widely read author in the Netherlands. A former detective inspector of the Amsterdam police, his fictional characters reflect the depth and personality of individuals encountered during his thirty-eight-year career in law enforcement.

Book excerpt: When a naked woman flashes past Nick Madrid's fourteenth floor hotel window it's quite a start to the Just for Laughs Festival. The management is horrified to have a celebrity death fall into their laps, that is, into their pool, and the mess in the shallow end is no treat either. But the big question is: was Cissie Parker pushed or did she fall? Nick, a journalist easily distracted by his intense and painful yoga practices, turns gumshoe to answer the question. Madrid and his cohorts -- the caddy Frank and the ciggie-smoking, platform-sole wearing Bridget -- pick up the deadly breadcrumb trail, each carrying their own suspicions as to who killed Ms. Parker. The fine lines of comedy and tragedy are smeared as the killer's trail leads them from Montreal to Edinburgh to the ghastly-lights of Hollywood.

Madrid soon discovers that the murdering queue forms on the left for Mr. Barnes. The question is: Can he prevent Barnes' date with death at the final concert at Machu Picchu?

Death has become commonplace in the news, but never for DeKok.
