Sleep Baby Sleep (Pieter Vos, Amsterdam Book 4)

Anne Schrijver is just twenty-two years old. She works in the picturesque Albert Cuyp market where her father has a flower stall. Brimming with personality, she’s always been popular with customers. But then she goes missing, only to be found barely alive tied to a stone angel in a graveyard, surrounded by a ring of fire. Her body contains traces of a drug which connects police to a previous case: the Sleeping Beauty murders.But Annie seems to have been the lucky one, as a body is found nearby, freshly tattooed with three words: Sleep Baby Sleep.It’s summer and Amsterdam is full of tourists, drunk or high on all that it has to offer. But the lively atmosphere has sinister undercurrents as a killer is at work in a city where crime pays and tensions run high. Detective Pieter Vos knows that if he is to outwit the murderer, he will need to employ everything he has to avert a greater tragedy.Praise for the Pieter Vos seriesBook One: The House of DollsBook Two: The Wrong GirlBook Three: Little SisterBook Four: Sleep, Baby, Sleep‘Dark and atmospheric with breathless pacing.’Linwood Barclay‘David Hewson wrote a series featuring the Roman cop Nic Costa, then much-praised novelizations of the TV series The Killing, set in Copenhagen. He’s now had equal success in capturing the atmosphere and criminal culture of Amsterdam.’The Times‘Brimming with action and drama.’Playlist‘It is rare to find an author whose works seem entirely original. Hewson’s do’.Literary Review‘Hewson provides a cast of fascinating suspects and some haunting imagery and motifs as Vos wades through the murk and mud to a thrilling and unexpected denouement. Crime writing from a master of the genre.’Lancashire Evening Post‘When Hewson hits his stride it feels like you’re being treated to a masterclass in crime writing. If you have a penchant for Euro-crime procedurals, [this] is an essential new series.’Crime Fiction Lover‘The issues covered are up to the minute and the ending is realistic. Highly recommended.’The Book Bag Read more
