De Cock en tranen aan de Leie by A.C. Baantjer

Why read the book?

On a summer evening a young woman comes to De Cock. She reports that her father has gone missing.

Missing persons are not unusual. What makes this one stand out is that the man is the president of the court.

De Cock sets out to investigate, together with Vledder.

Favourite quote

What I Loved

The standing of the missing man raises the stakes from the first page. De Cock has to handle a sensitive case with care.

The summer Amsterdam setting and De Cock's patient approach give the book its character.

Key Takeaway

When the missing man is a senior judge, an ordinary report becomes a careful investigation.

Note

This book is only available in Dutch
