From Bruges with Love by Pieter Aspe

Description

Behind the glamorous facade of elite Belgian society lies a seedy world unseen by the public eye—but nothing stays hidden forever

Inspector Pieter Van In is begrudgingly finishing up a healthy lunch when he hears the news: While restoring their farmhouse, the Vermasts have found a skeleton in the backyard. Van In, who happens to be married to the deputy public prosecutor, is determined to solve the case in double-quick time and squeeze in one last vacation before the birth of his first child.

But this murder is trickier than it looks, and Van In soon finds himself in murky waters. The Vermasts' land belonged to the most prominent businessman in West Flanders before it was suddenly handed over to a right-wing charity. The heavily endowed foundation appears to have no expenditures or investments. So who's financing it—and why?

Before he knows it, Van In finds himself in the middle of a complex web—one that involves high-level officials, local law enforcement, and common thugs. The harder he tries to unravel the thread, the more difficult it becomes to uncover the secrets that the charity's benefactors are trying to hide. This time Van In will have to risk lives to find out the truth.

I just struggled to get interested in the story. This is translated into English.   The setting is Burges.  Which I am not familiar with rank and file of Police too.  Inspector Pieter Van In gets a new case.  A buried body is found out on a farm.  The family has only lived there a few months.  Before that a mystery charity owned the property. Van In is married to Hannelore Martens deputy public prosecutor. Who also is working the case and is pregnant with their first child. This story has some twists in it.  You are not sure who did what when till the end of the book.\ Van In is not afraid to break rules.  He doesn't treat suspects with kindness.  He also has a habit of taking prisoners in for trial. There is sex, murder, snuff films are some of the stuff the bad guys are involved in.  There is a lot of high power people who might be involved in the case. I was given From Bruges with Love to read by Net Galley and Open Road Integrated Media.   In return I agreed to give a honest review of From Bruges with Love.
