Publisher's Synopsis
Pieter Posthumus is enjoying a quiet drink when the screaming starts. Marloes, the owner of the guesthouse next door rushes in: one of her tenants has been murdered. Posthumus cannot believe it when she is arrested - for both her tenant Zig's murder and another death years before. Why do people think Marloes is guilty? And why did Zig paint one picture every year - a copy of a Dutch master, but with one peculiar twist? As his investigation progresses he finds that asking questions leads to a truth that's hard to bear.
