Nicolas Freeling Boeken

A Henri Castang Mystery - An intriguing case presents itself to Castang where assassination and terrorism are the order of the day. A deputy mayor is murdered and his family, friends and colleagues are all suspects. In this pulsing mystery, Freeling lets loose a quirky, inventive crime fiction that should taunt and tease.

Her background was impeccably aristocratic, but like many rich, neglected wives, Madame Lecat pursued a variety of diversions, from cocaine to young men. Now the Madame is dead, and Henri Castang is about to reveal some startling things about how the rich live and die.

The first novel in the acclaimed VAN DER VALK series - now a major new ITV series starring Marc Warren 'Masterful' SUNDAY TIMES 'Freeling's Inspector Van der Valk is less rugged than Rebus, less parsonical than Dalgliesh, more Morse than Frost, and more Maigret than any of them. Marvellous' - Anita Brookner 'Freeling is a joy to read' TLS 'You're in for a treat' COSMOPOLITAN A woman, Elsa, is brutally murdered in her Amsterdam apartment. Her ex-lover, Martin, is seen outside the building around the time of the crime. The witness who saw him? A policeman. It looks like a straightforward case - but police inspector Van der Valk is not convinced. Despite all the evidence - and the fact that Martin originally denied he was at the apartment - he believes Martin is not guilty of murder. Instead of charging him, Van der Valk takes him on a tour: a tour of the investigation; a tour of Martin's own past; and a tour into the darkly obsessive world of Elsa...

Nicolas Freeling, a master of crime writing, is teamed here with a distinguished American physicist in this factual account of an unspeakable event that could so easily happen. Applying his engrossing insights into psychological observation, Freeling presents a chilling portrayal of the nuclear age which will leave you free from many a good night's sleep.

Die Formel - bk1003; Goldmann Verlag; Nicolas Freeling; pocket_book; 1980

Štyri skvelé detektívne príbehy, v ktorých vystupuje hlavný inšpektor van der Valka, ktorý sa vždy usiluje vniknúť do psychiky podozrivého – Láska v Amsterdame, Pre mačky, Cudzoložstvo, Kráľ daždivého kraja......

Láska v Amsterdame je prvý román Nicolas Freelinga, do istej miery determinuje jeho tvorbu. Dialógy, prostredie aj dej vzbudzujú v čitateľovi dojem, že je bezprostredným pozorovateľom udalostí. Hlavným hrdinom je holandský detektív Van der Valk, ľudská a netradičná postava. Hádanky, ktoré mu predkladá život, ho priťahujú a autor presne opisuje jeho myšlienkové pochody. Tento prístup prispieva k presvedčivosti Freelingovej tvorby, výrazne realistickej, pokiaľ ide o charaktery a opis prostredia. Takto dielo nielenže poskytuje zábavu, ale dáva mu možnosť nazrieť do holandského spôsobu života a zoznámiť sa s veľkomestským Amsterdamom....

Suite à une lettre à peine anonyme d'un respectable banquier, l'inspecteur Van der Valk, de la police d'Amsterdam, enquête sur la mort suspecte d'un peintre minable et authentique maître chanteur. L'accusé ? Un non moins respectable neurologue, avec lequel il va entreprendre un étonnant dialogue... Curieux, patient, obstiné, Van der Valk a pu être comparé à un Maigret hollandais, mais un Maigret mâtiné de Philip Marlowe pour sa décontraction et son humour parfois sarcastique.
