About this ebook
The first in the atmospheric Amsterdam-set crime series, which combines the city's old-world charm with contemporary issues of corruption, immigration and crime.
A suicide. A drowned man. A sudden death.
For some people, it's just another day's work.
In Amsterdam, there's a council department known affectionately as the Lonely Funerals team. It exists to arrange burials for the abandoned or unknown dead, with the care and dignity that every life deserves.
Pieter Posthumus hasn't been doing the job long, but he's determined to do it well. He finds that he cares deeply about the people whose files land on his desk.
So when something doesn't seem quite right about a Moroccan immigrant's 'accidental' drowning, Posthumus starts digging.
His quest for justice will lead him down some dangerous paths, and into conflict with some very dangerous men...

Rodney Bolt was at home, writing biographies and travel stories, and dreaming of doing the same. Soon afterwards, they had teamed up to write a crime series set in their beloved adopted city Amsterdam.
