I arrived in Amsterdam at 9:30 on Monday morning. I rang Elly van Praag of the Dutch police from Schiphol airport. Elly was the friend I had made during the case of the stolen paintings two years ago.Elly wasn’t working that morning and we arranged to meet two hours later at a cafe we knew in the Jordaan, an old part ofAmsterdam. That would give me time to go to my hotel and check in. I caught the train from the airport and took a taxi into the centre from Central Station. The Echo had booked me into a hotel on the Keizersgracht. There were a lot of visitors to Amsterdam in spring and good rooms were difficult to find. The hotel wasn’t very nice, but I didn’t expect to be staying long. I left my bag and went to meet Elly.
Elly was already at the cafe when I arrived, sitting at a table outside, next to the Prinsengracht canal. She smiled and stood up as she saw me coming, and kissed me three times in the Dutch way. ‘Hey, Kate, wonderful to see you,’ she said,
Elly was typically Dutch, if there is such a thing. She was tall and very blonde, and looked like a sportswoman. In fact, she was a very good cyclist, and when she wasn’t fighting crime in Amsterdam, was usually to be found cycling hundreds of kilometres around Holland with a number on her back. She looked like the daughter of a Dutch farmer, which she was, with red cheeks and bright blue eyes. And like most Dutch people of her age – she was in her early thirties – she spoke English very well. We sat down and ordered coffee. It was a fine spring day; the sky was blue with little white clouds here and there.
’I’m sorry about your friend,’ Elly said.
’Yes,’ I said, staring at the red and white tablecloth. ‘It’s really sad.’
I told her about my meeting with Max just a few days ago. ‘He seemed to be happy and said the club was doing OK,’ I added.
Elly wasn’t a football fan and knew nothing about the Rotterdam club. She did know about crime in Amsterdam though.
De Pijp, where Max had died, was one of the oldest parts of the city, a lively place with a wonderful street market at its centre, on a street called Albert Cuypstraat. Last time I was in Amsterdam I had gone shopping there for Dutch cheese and tulips to take home. It was strange to think that this lovely colourful place was where Max had lost his life.
’De Pijp is getting quite dangerous these days, Kate,’ Elly said. ‘There have been quite a number of stabbings and shootings. We’ve been busy down there.’
’So, it just looks like it was a mugging that went wrong?’I asked.
The waiter arrived with the coffees, Elly’s black and mine koffe verkeerd or ‘wrong coffee’, the Dutch name for coffee with milk. Elly had ordered a cake too. All that crime – fighting and cycling made her hungry.
