Tales of the Continent

Instead of San Francisco, Pierre T Mar's novel is set mainly in Amsterdam (and partly in Brussels) in the 1970's and 1980's. The central thread running through the book is a bizarre murder committed at the Amsterdam's Central Station. The victim, a defrocked Priest is the administrator at a research and teaching institute at one of the city's universities. The attempts by Inspector Veenstra to find the killer bring to light many of the social and erotic peculiarities of Amsterdam and Brussels. This work is the intended as the first of a series.
