![]() ![]() ![]() Whether investigating murder, stolen paintings or the kidnap of a politican, Henk gives his all – much to the despair of his put upon wife, Petra.ĭaniel Pembrey lived in Amsterdam when he wrote The Harbour Master and you can tell it was more than just a short research trip. Instead, his sense of justice is keener than ever before and with age, comes the tenacity to take on anyone, no matter who they are – local gangs, corrupt officers or even politicians. Close to retirement, he isn’t worn down by the job, sitting on his laurels until he can escape. ![]() ![]() So I don’t have a vast knowledge about Dutch police officers but I suspect that Henk van der Pol isn’t your usual copper. I have a vague recollection of Van der Valk wearing a brown jacket but that’s all I remember. Having just listened to the theme tune again on YouTube (it’s called Eye Level in case you’re interested), I’m not surprised. I went to a James Bond concert the other week and as well as playing Bond themes, they also played iconic tunes from successful crime shows – Cagney & Lacey, Miss Marple, Poirot, Hill Street Blues and The Bill (yes, really, but the composer was playing guitar in the orchestra). ![]()
