Summary
Van Der Valk centres on the investigations of a charismatic detective--a complex, thoughtful and 'real' sleuth who tackles tough crimes. Set in the lively and enigmatic city of Amsterdam, the series follows Van der Valk's engaging, unapologetic and street-smart methods as he leads his dynamic team in solving murders using astute human observation and inspired detection. LOVE IN AMSTERDAM: Two seemingly unrelated men are found murdered in different parts of Amsterdam on the same day. Are the deaths connected and could there be a link to the disappearance of a student activist? Commissaris Van der Valk must uncover the truth whilst also dealing with overly keen rookie cop Job Cloovers joining his tight knight team. ONLY IN AMSTERDAM: The murder of a young woman leads Van der Valk and his team into a world of mysticism, drug addiction and tempestuous family dynamics. Van der Valk attempts to unravel the tangled threads of the murder whilst fending off office gossip about him and a newly single Lucienne. DEATH IN AMSTERDAM: The brutal murder of a fashion vlogger is live streamed on his own feed, drawing Van der Valk and the team into the glamourous world of high fashion. But Van der Valk is preoccupied by the parole hearing of a criminal with links to a past case that could endanger the team but also unlock a secret in his past
