Because of the Cats - Thryft

Unorthodox detective unravels facade in seaside town.

"Because of the Cats" could be just the engrossing mystery you're looking for. Van der Valk's unique approach to crime-solving, where he deeply intertwines himself with the suspect's lives and the coastal community, peels back layers of false respectability in a compelling read. The book promises a satisfying blend of human insight and suspense, culminating in an intense climax. Perfect for those who enjoy character-driven detective stories with a strong sense of place.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

As usual, Van der Valk's approach to the case is both unorthodox and intensely human. He immerses himself in the lives of his suspects, and in the small town atmosphere of the seaside resort where they live., and cracks the facade of respectability behind which they hide. Under his obsessive probing the mystery is eventually unraveled, but not before there has been a final explosion of violence as the cats act to defend themselves.
