About this book
Seven longer, darker cases in confident B2 Dutch, around 3,600 to 4,000 words each. A translator discovers someone has been inside her apartment while nothing was taken (Twee sleutels), a man turns out to have borrowed an entire identity (De man zonder gezicht), a gallery is accused of selling forgeries, a witness chooses silence, and an old dossier refuses to stay closed.
Then comes the final story — simply titled Rook — the one the whole series has been building toward: the case that reveals who the detective really is. Every story stands on its own, with comprehension questions per story, a full answer key, and a glossary at the back.
Written at B2 (upper intermediate): you read longer texts comfortably and pick up nuance, idiom, and implied meaning. Not sure about your level?
