Only in Amsterdam

Piet van der Valk grudgingly yields chief Lucienne Hassell's injunction to give brilliant rookie detective Job Cloovers 'a fair chance', but it's just passive, nothing resembling research-deserved encouragement. Muslim Aamina Jabara was bloodily murdered in a way fitting Catholic iconography. Her brother bitterly blames their domineering, conservative father for ignoring her in favor of her twin sister Zafira, or was it the other way around? Identification is doubtful, a tattoo sets Vander Valk on the trail of a search for occult sects. While the victim secretly diverted from the paternally approved path, the other being chased from home, she started a secret Lesbian affair with a Catholice nunnery novice in Klaas Gilbert's nearby private occult museum's library, where one Otto Nelissen openly attacks 'hypocritical' Gilbert. At least one sister was involved with the legal but dodgy free drugs clinic run by slick Isaak Graaff around the corner. —KGF Vissers
