This satirical social first novel is intended as a kind of
European response to Armistead Maupin's "Tales of the City."
Instead of San Francisco, Pierre Ta 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.
