"Nothing electrifies Amsterdam cop Commissaris Simon 'Piet' van der Valk (Barry Foster, Frenzy, Smileys People) like a new murder case. Once on the trail, the dapper detective goes by his instincts; not by the book. His investigations lead him into all corners of the Dutch capital, from the immigrant bars and apartments of the low-rent district to the boardrooms and deluxe hotels of the high and mighty. Although he seems more than a little jaded, Van der Valk receives assistance from the eager Inspecteur Johnny Kroon (Michael Latimer) and indulgence from his ever-supportive French wife; Arlette (Susan Travers). And while he's more likely to be at a pub than dealing with the political fallout of his cases, there's never any doubt about his devotion to his job; nor the lengths to which hell go in his headlong pursuit to catch a killer."--Container.
