Sulking in an Amsterdam jail, he swears it's been years since he saw Elsa, but Inspector Van der Valk isn't quite ready to be persuaded. Like Inspector Maigret (to whom he is often compared), Van der Valk tends to pick apart the details, ideally over a good meal. And while Van der Valk's ruminations may frustrate his more action-minded colleagues, they inevitably yield a surprising resolution. Freeling knew both prison and good meals: Arrested while working as a chef in a Dutch hotel, he began writing Love in Amsterdam (also titled Death in Amsterdam) on paper swiped from his jailhouse job wrapping bars of soap. The soap's loss was readers' gain: Freeling went on to win every important prize in mystery fiction in the U.S., France, and the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/nicolas-freeling-books\"\u003eNicolas Freeling\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gollancz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780575035270\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gollancz","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £34.89","offer_id":47900758114481,"sku":"SB-0575035277-C3","price":34.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0575035277.jpg?v=1789672055"},{"product_id":"love-in-amsterdam-1","title":"Love in Amsterdam","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this classic mystery, a Dutch police detective investigates a woman's murder with assistance from the man accused of killing her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA woman, Elsa, is brutally murdered in her Amsterdam apartment.
