The main character Charlie Howard is a writer and a thief, writing about thievery. He is tasked by another thief, fresh out of prison, to steal some figurines. The story play out in Amsterdam, and quickly unravels into a web of lies, spree of murders, and additional thievery. It is impossible to figure out who the real killers are, and as soon as you are sure about a suspect, their undisputed innocence become clear. In a final scene all the characters are gathered in a single room and after an elaborate circus of events, the true killer is revealed.
A true gripping story with a stone cold, calculated, main character with enough wit about him to keep any reader intrigued. Recommended for all book lovers, and the first in this series from Chris Ewan.
