Just a Corpse at Twilight

Janwillem van de Wetering has been an Amsterdam policeman, a world traveler, and a Buddhist monk. As a result, his intelligent sophistication, international flair, and wry humor shine in each of the Grijpstra and DeGier mysteries. Just a Corpse at Twilight pulls Henk Grijpstra into a case that threatens to ruin his colleague, Rinus DeGier. As the middle-aged Grijpstra enjoys an evening of comfort in Amsterdam, he gets an unexpected phone call. It is a frantic plea from DeGier, who has retired to live off the coast of Maine. During a bungled, drugged attempt to attain enlightenment, DeGier thinks he may have killed a woman. Can Grijpstra come quickly to America to help his old buddy? As strange as the case sounds, it doesn't prepare Grijpstra for the gossipy intrigue and neighborly double-dealing that he finds in Jamestown, Maine. George Guidall voices the humor and affection between the two men, while also capturing the flavor of this quirky Maine fishing village.
