A while back I came across a mystery series that bananafishers might be
interested in. The books are by Janwillem van de Wetering and they
feature some Amsterdam cops, some zen like philosophy, and some great
writing. Heres a sample:

 " Nice here," de Gier said, putting his camera away. So it was
Grijpstra thought. Moonlight on a calm sea, the never-figure-out-able
zillion stars everywhere, seals assuming their tail-up, head-up banana
postures on rocks being bared by low tide, a quiet ripple further along,
cut, de Gier claimed, by a curious dolphin's dorsal fin. 
 " Very nice," Grijpstra agreed. " Proves things are okay maybe. Here
for instance."
