One day he meets a Dutchman, Klaas Graaff—an ideal candidate and the owner of a Rubens painting. She will help Roger solve all family and financial problems. But suddenly the “head hunter” himself turns into the prey…

“Probably there won’t be a sequel to ‘The Head Hunters,’ but it’s just an astonishing detective story in which the author, with absolute freedom, tells a tale far wilder and stranger than anything he’s invented before.”
