Sand Castles.

NICOLAS FREELING

Publication: Andre Deutsch, 1989, London

First edition. Fine in dust jacket. Two adventures for Inspector Van der Valk and his wife, the first involves clearing up a nasty protection racket where family men are paying money to not have some highly indecent photographs revealed. The second adventure involves a wealthy man who lives on a remote island and has as his house guest, a sinister Elmer Gantry-like person. Dead bodies appear among the dunes and a coven of right-wing fanatics try to bump off the Inspector. Well done story.
