The King of the Rainy Country by Nicolas Freeling

This was the end of the story that had started 'Once upon a time, in a rainy country, there was a king.' The end had not happened in a rainy country, but on a bone-dry Spanish hillside, three hundred metres from where Van der Valk had left a lot of blood, some splintered bone, a few fragments of gut, and a ten-seventy-five Mauser rifle bullet.

No one had broken any laws. But a handsome, middle-aged millionaire had disappeared with a naked girl. And Van der Valk was given the job of finding out why.

Nicolas Freeling's crime books, particularly the Van der Valk trilogy, made him famous. His books have won numerous honors, including an Edgar Award, a French Grand Prix, and a Gold Dagger Award for their popular and critical appeal. Later in life, he wrote a series of cookbooks that, true to his reputation as a master of suspense, are as entertaining as a whodunnit mystery.
