The House of Dolls

Where dark secrets lurk behind every door . . . The House of Dolls is the first title in the Detective Pieter Vos series, David Hewson's atmospheric crime novels set in the city of canals and coffee shops. Three years ago, sixteen-year-old Anneliese, daughter of detective Pieter Vos, disappeared in mysterious circumstances, leaving her father distraught. Pieter's desperate search revealed nothing and resulted in his departure from the police force. He now lives on a dilapidated houseboat in the colourful Amsterdam region of the Jordaan, with only his dog for company. Laura Bakker is a young misfit trainee detective and when she hears that Katja Prins, daughter of an important local politician, has gone missing in similar circumstances to Anneliese, she goes to see Vos. Vos finds himself drawn back into the role of detective, hoping against hope to unearth a clue that might lead him to the fate of Anneliese. The daughter he blames himself for losing.
