A Grijpstra & De Gier Mystery Grijpstra and De Gier are called to an elegant townhouse where the body of a middle-aged woman has been found in her garden with a broken neck. The slippery steps - and the lady's drinking problem - make it look like an accident. But the dead woman's wealth, a neighbourhood pet poisoner, and an ex-lover nicknamed the baboon' convince the commissaris that it's murder.'
