A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"The Henning Mankell of Amsterdam" - Bill Rogers, author of The Pick, The Spade and The Crow

"Daniel Pembrey writes with great authority and authenticity. The Harbour Master is a compelling, highly believable tale set in the flesh markets of Amsterdam and the even seedier corridors of power beyond them, where it's hard to know who the real criminals really are. You'll keep turning these pages right till the end" - Howard Linskey, author of Behind Dead Eyes

"A splendid setting in what promises to be the start of a great new series"' - Ragnar Jonasson, author of the internationally bestselling Dark Iceland series

"A vivid sense of place and a flawed and believable central character...could herald a great series and career from this new British author" - Maxim Jakubowski, Lovereading

"The Harbour Master is an accomplished novel, sporting a vividly realised sense of locale matched by an adroit evocation of character" - Barry Forshaw, author of Brit Noir

"The style of writing was so enjoyable...this really is an excellent read" - Sarah Ward, author of A Deadly Thaw

"Henk van der Pol makes for a great lead character - he's strong willed, courageous and determined to unravel the cases he encounters and serve justice - no matter how complicated they might be... " - Steph Broadribb, Crime Thriller Girl

"The relationships linking Henk, his wife, and their daughter are flawlessly executed. Pembrey shows great skill as a crime fiction writer. His understanding and portrayal of people, places and situations is remarkable" - DutchNews.NL

"'A satisfyingly complex tale of politics, drugs and corruption. Highly recommended." - James Oswald, Times bestselling author of the Inspector McClean mystery series

"Pembrey's style of writing is tight and descriptive which produces a depth of narrative that the reader cannot help but become immersed in." - Nudge

"It's clear that Pembrey stepped off the well-trod tourist path to create an authentic Amsterdam." --Joy Kluver

"Pembrey is a debut novelist of rare skill, marshalling his material with rigour and intelligence" - --Financial Times

"It's clear that Pembrey stepped off the well-trod tourist path to create an authentic Amsterdam." --Joy Kluver
