Product Description
About the Author
Born in London in 1927, Nicolas Freeling is the author of over thirty titles, many of which are part of the crime genre. His education was broad and he attended a series of schools in England, Ireland and France. He served in the Royal Air Force, and from 1950 worked at various jobs in kitchens, hotels and restaurants throughout Europe. It was this intimate knowledge of the continent that influenced the style and settings of his subsequent books. The first of these was published in 1961. He is best known for the creation of Inspector Piet Van der Valk, an irascible detective engaged in ordinary crime, political intrigue and international affairs. Freeling is married, has four sons and one daughter and currently resides in France.

One of the best of the Castang books
28 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
Inspector Castang was overtired and wanted nothing more to retire home to his wife Vera's cooking and a good night's sleep. The absolute last thing he needed was for a nude female corpse to show up in the boot of a Rolls-Royce belonging to a British VIP.
I have to admit to generally being partial to Freeling's Van Der Valk books, but _The Night Lords_ is everything a mystery should be. The characters are vivid and detailed, there's a great deal of rich local scenery, and the plot doesn't disappoint in terms of either mystery or police procedure. A definite read for Freeling fans and not a bad place to begin if you're new to the Castang books.
