Up-and-coming Amsterdam lawyer David Driessen thinks he's hit the jackpot when a wealthy client showers him with praise, glamour, and plenty of money. But David learns far too late that every gift from the shady realtor comes with a catch-and a price tag. As his gambling addiction, his constant need for cash, and his wife's infidelities combine to drag him deeper and deeper into his client's twisted world of money and despair, David struggles to stay ahead of it all... before his time runs out.

In The Amsterdam Lawyer, Rene Appel-two-time winner of the Golden Noose, The Netherlands' equivalent of the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Allan Poe Award-once again demonstrates the skill that led leading Dutch daily newspaper Algemeen Dagblad to proclaim him "the godfather of the Dutch psychological thriller."

"A fascinating novel, bubbling over with greed, mistrust, and ruthlessness." Gijs Korevaar, Algemeen Dagblad

"Rene Appel is a first-rate Dutch crime writer. The Amsterdam Lawyer is a compelling and twisted legal thriller, the first of what will hopefully be many of his books to appear in English." Steve Steinbock, reviewer for Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine
