''Along with such peers as Ed McBain and Georges Simenon, [Baantjer] has created a long-running and uniformly engaging police series. They are smart, suspenseful, and better-crafted than most in the field.'' -Mystery Scene..... This latest installment of the internationally popular Inspector DeKok series finds the gray sleuth dealing with a most gruesome murder. A beautiful, free-spirited young woman, Nanette Bogaard, has gone missing, and those closest to her fear her to be dead. Inspector DeKok is soon called upon to find out her whereabouts. It quickly becomes unveiled that Nanette, known by a scorned paramour as a ''Wild Daisy,'' may have harbored a dark side, one that embraced blackmail, emotional cruelty, and a wicked selfishness. The more DeKok learns of the beguiling Nanette, the more he identifies possible suspects related to her disapperance. DeKok feels it in his gut that he is on the trail of a dead woman. DeKok's suspicions are confirmed with one phone call. The dismembered body of a young woman has been found at the city dump. Now DeKok has to find the bloodied hands responsible for the somber-eyed woman's murder.
