The gripping crime thriller you won’t be able to put down

The Copycat

Inspector Rykel Book 3

Before the Dawn

Inspector Rykel Book 1

After the Silence

Into the Night

Penguin Shop: 3 Clothbound Classics for £33

Utterly enthralling ... looks set to be one of the key sequences in modern crime fiction

A strong sense of place is matched by a capacity for storytelling that keeps the plot accelerating

This gripping detective novel will thrill fans of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and bears comparison to Fatherland ... Utterly unputdownable

Complex ... intriguing ... keeps the reader hooked

Does for Amsterdam what Rankin did for Edinburgh ... a rich cast of characters, a sinewy, complex plot and a starring role for Amsterdam are the highlights of this brilliant debut ... a great read

So fast it leaves tyre tracks. From the shocking first pages to the final paragraph the tension remains and never lets up for a single moment ... disturbing, claustrophobic and utterly thrilling

After the Silence is as dark and twisty as the Amsterdam it navigates and Rykel a fascinating and original protagonist. A promising start to what could be a great series

A complex, brilliantly written crime novel, which builds to a truly shocking climax

Superficially, a cracking cops 'n' robbers story, but with a deep, dark heart.  You will read it in just a few sessions and be gripped ... The conclusion is intense, violent and shocking ... it left me literally dry-mouthed ... For someone on only his second novel, he writes like an established master

Jake Woodhouse's taut, twisty plots are expertly woven and beautifully written. They are peopled with complex characters that will have you turning the pages to see what becomes of them. He has created a flawed gem in Inspector Jaap Rykel, a cop with an assured literary future

Craig Robertson, author of Witness the Dead and The Last Refuge

Inspector Rykel Book 2

A body is found on a rooftop, the dead man's hands blowtorched, his head removed. 
 
 The man tasked with tracking down the killer is Amsterdam Inspector Jaap Rykel. But as he searches the headless body for clues Rykel finds something which makes his blood run cold - a picture of himself on the victim's phone 
. 
 And then a message from the killer reveals the location of a second mutilated corpse. It's another day in Western Europe's murder capital . . .

The second sophisticated and dark installment in Jake Woodhouse's Amsterdam Quartet, featuring returning series character Inspector Jaap Rykel. After the Silence was Jake's first novel.
