By the bestselling author of The Killing, Sleep Baby Sleep is the fourth novel in David Hewson's gripping Detective Pieter Vos series set in Amsterdam. Annie Schrijver is just twenty-two-years-old. She works in the picturesque Albert Cuyp flower market where her father has a stall.

Brimming with personality, she's always been popular with the customers.

But then she goes missing, only to be found barely alive, tied to a stone angel in a graveyard, surrounded by a ring of fire.

Her body contains traces of a drug which connect the police to a previous case: the Sleeping Beauty murders.

But Annie seems to have been the lucky one, as a body is found nearby, freshly tattooed with three words: Sleep Baby Sleep. It is summer and Amsterdam is full of tourists drunk or high on all that it has to offer.

The drum of music from a make-shift DJ booth near the zoo is deafening, and empty frites cones and beer cans litter the streets.

But the atmosphere has sinister undercurrents as a killer is at work in a city where crime pays and tensions run high.

Detective Pieter Vos knows that if he is to outwit the murderer, he will need to employ everything he has to avert a greater tragedy.
