Synopsis
This latest Baantjer mystery delves into a grotesque double murder in a well-known Amsterdam hotel. In a surprising twist, Inspector DeKok has nightly conversations with the murderer and tries everything possible to prevent the man from giving himself up to the police. Risking the anger of his superiors, DeKok goes so far as to disappear in order to prevent the perpetrator from being found. Meanwhile, two unexpected characters add to the web of confusion: a six-year-old girl who never sleeps and a respected accountant who seeks DeKok s advice on committing the perfect crime. With Dead Harlequin, Baantjer has created yet another intelligent, absorbing tale.

Baantjer holds the honor of being knighted by the Dutch monarchy.
Review
A well told tale that any crime enthusiast will enjoy. The translator H. G. Smittenaar has done a fine job of matching the two languages so the reader will enjoy talented author A. C. Baantjer's tales of crime in the setting of Amsterdam. --Reader to Reader, February 2009
This one, in which a very precise and orderly man, ordinary in every possible way, informs DeKok that he's going to commit a murder, is a masterpiece of deduction. We follow along to unravel crime, motive, method and even victim in a plot that Arthur Conan Doyle would have adored. --Globe and Mail, February 2009
Baantjer was a police inspector of the Amsterdam police. This beloved Dutch author uses his expertise and skill to bring his Inspector DeKok to life. DeKok and the Dead Harlequin might serve to bring a "forgotten" author to American audiences. --Lesa's Book Critiques, March 2009
The bottom line is this: DeKok and the Dead Harlequin is one of the best mysteries you will have an opportunity to read this year (or any other). --BookLoons Review, March 2009
"Rarely does a mystery capture the attention of the reader as suddenly and as firmly as the first page of DeKok and the Dead Harlequin does." --Hidden Staircase Mystery Books, March 2009
