About this ebook
Still recuperating from injuries sustained in Reprobate, freelance assassin Katla Sieltjes, expert in disguising homicide, has to take up arms against the Kau Hong, a Chinese Triad attempting a hostile takeover of her legitimate business. When not just her own life is at stake, but her lover and his friends are targeted, Katla has to wage a guerrilla war against the Kau Hong. The situation becomes increasingly complex when a Hong Kong sniper arrives and teams up with a mute enforcer from the competitive 14K Triad. Amsterdam might prove too small for Katla to play hide and seek when her enemies are skilled in search and destroy..
Peccadillo is the second novel in the Amsterdam Assassin Series. With authentic details and fast-paced action, featuring an uncompromising heroine and a supporting cast of unusual characters, Peccadillo gives a rare glimpse in the local Dutch culture, information on the famous Dutch capital, the Chinese Triads, sniping, clairvoyance, circumventing car alarms, martial arts, computer hacking, the art of social engineering, and the brutal effectiveness of disciplined violence.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow. This second in the series is really a page-turner. Halm takes us in a slightly different direction. A gang of Chinese underworld are anxious to take over Sphinx Shipping of which Katla is a majority stockholder (in reality probably the brains behind the operation) and that want it for free. Katla is not about to give away her investment. A rapid chess game results as each side seeks advantage.Katla’s circle of friends expands (I recommend reading the books in order) adding Anouk, a talented artist and sculptor, ex-girlfriend of Bram. Zeph, Bram’s Rastafarian friend who is raising organic ganja, also becomes more involved which permits Halm to create several layers of moral tension as Zeph is as non-violent as possible and Bram wants to protect that innocence. Katla even takes on a fellow professional as backup.It will be interesting to see how Katla manages to maintain her anonymity in the third volume after as the number of people who know that she is Loki continues to increase. Given the number of dead bodies after the attack on the triad, surely the police will take a more pronounced interest in Loki.Very fun read. This one will be hard to top.
