"The Amsterdam Chronicles" The Hanging
(coming 2026)
Still on sick-leave recovering from a smashed collarbone, NYPD detective Harvey Wall tries to relax and enjoy his stay in Amsterdam. When the body of a man is found in a cocoon styled sack hanging from a winch beam on top of a beautiful 16th century house along one of the canals, the itch to investigate is overpowering, but off bounds. When a second and third body is found shortly after he finally goes back into action. A lack of clues and motive as to how and why test his investigating skills.
Part of 'The Amsterdam Chronicles' series.

a single mom fleeing her past, a family seeking a grand adventure, and a bitter expat uproot their lives and move to a new country in search of happiness.
Navigating culture shocks, newfound passions, and dangerous local underbellies, they must all decide whether running from their past is the key to their future, or if their demons have simply followed them across the sea.
