Amsterdam Cop Rules

These short stories set in Holland and Maine give a unique view into the "Dutch" perspective toward policing and government in general. Janwillem's deft style and his characters introspective personalities make the reader long to be in the wicked city of Amsterdam.

Dutch Zen Cops

Mr. Van De Wetering's short stories are even better thanhis novels. His experiences in a zen monastary in Japangive these stories a slightly Zen Fable feeling, which is weird in what basically are police procedurals. All of his mystery books are highly recommended.
