Testing out the pitch for the fourth novel in the Amsterdam Assassin Series:

Assassin Katla's sabbatical year turns out to be her biggest challenge yet…

After relentless scrutiny by law enforcement, freelance assassin and corporate troubleshooter Katla Sieltjes promised her boyfriend Bram to take a year off. Not only to stave off the attentions of the DEA and Homeland Security, but also to disprove Bram's notion that she's suffering from occupational psychosis.

But there's no rest for the wicked. An unexpected pregnancy, a brother in peril, a secretive consultant, and a devious infiltrator conspire to get Katla to do what she's good at: solving troubles her own unique way.

Ghosting is the fourth novel in the Amsterdam Assassin Series. With authentic details and fast-paced action against the backdrop of the notorious Dutch capital, featuring an uncompromising heroine and a supporting cast of unusual characters, Ghosting gives a rare glimpse in the local Dutch culture, Jamaican gangs, computer hacking, forensic sciences, martial arts, foreign intelligence services, the art of social engineering, and the brutal effectiveness of disciplined violence.

Hi Martyn.

Having read the other offerings in the Amsterdam Assassin series, I'm looking forward to this one. The pitch is intriguing, especially for those of us who already know Katla.

An unexpected pregnancy is, well, unexpected. I look forward to entering into the world you describe in the last sentence. Mentioning the "rare glimpse" is enticing to say the least.
