Walter Eekhaut (his name rhymes with "stakeout"), a veteran of the Belgian police force who has a problem with authority, is dispatched to Amsterdam to aid the Dutch security service in investigating the activities of a well-connected Russian oligarch, with connections to Putin. Some of the Russian's business is certainly legitimate, but some may well not be. In Amsterdam, Eekhaut is seconded to Chief Superintendent Alexandra Dewaal and her team, and begins to learn about the city's shady underside. He is at once pulled into another case, the murder of a young leftist dissident, alleged to have stolen a sensitive list from the Amsterdam offices of an ultra-right-wing political party—a list with the name of secret donors. The hunt for the killer leads to a knot of black money interests and illegal dealings that pit the Russian mob and Dutch politicians and business leaders against the police and anyone else who tries to get in their way. Absinthe is the gripping first installment in the bestselling Amsterdam trilogy featuring Eekhaut and Dewaal and, for North American readers, a new voice in European noir.

Purgatory

A Thriller

By: Guido Eekhaut

The second novel in the acclaimed, best-selling Euro-crime series that began with the Hercule Poirot Award winner, Absinthe. If the world will end in flames, who is stoking the fire? Walter Eekhaut, the veteran chief inspector from the Brussels police force who has a problem with authority, remains in Amsterdam, where he was dispatched to aid the Dutch security service. When his boss, Chief Superintendent Alexandra Dewaal, receives a tip from one of her informants, the two find themselves across the border in his home country, tramping in the Belgian Ardennes on a frigid January day. What they find is macabre and horrific: seven charred human bodies, attached to tall stakes with chains, in an almost perfect circle. From the look of it, these people were burned alive in some sort of ritual. On the wall of a cabin, Eekhaut and Dewaal find the enigmatic message: "This World seems to last Forever. But it is merely the Dream of a Sleeper." Similar events occur elsewhere in Europe as well as Africa, where Eekhaut's new girlfriend has gone on temporary assignment for an international aid agency operating in Somalia. There have long been stories of an apocalyptic religious cult, The Church of Supreme Purification, along with a more shadowy militant offshoot. Are these events tied to them? Is this some sort of worldwide conspiracy to cleanse human society by fire, or is there a more sinister explanation?

Slender man

By: Guido Eekhaut

Vroeg op de ochtend, nadat je jonge partner vertrokken is naar haar werk, zit je op je bed. Je denkt na over wat de dag zal brengen en hoe die verdomde sokken aan te krijgen. Dan zie je, in het huis aan de overkant, hoe twee jonge meisjes een oudere vrouw vermoorden. Haar gewoon de keel oversnijden. Je bent zelf bij de politie geweest, en dus weet je wat je te doen staat. Maar wanneer je vroegere Londense collega's het huis in kwestie onderzoeken, is er geen lijk, geen spoor van een moord. Jonge meisjes, van nauwelijks veertien, die een brutale moord plegen, het is zelfs in Londen een zeldzaamheid. Lijk of niet, je wil er het fijne van weten. En voor je er erg in hebt, ben je betrokken bij een bizarre zaak, op leven en dood. Op zoek naar het motief van die moorddadige meiden, kom je terecht in de wrede wereld van de Slender Man. Maar ook dat is niet het einde van je zoektocht...
