The Amsterdam Connection(Chapter3~10)

Summary:
     Kate arrived in Amsterdam. She met her friend Elly in coffee shop and talked about Max's death. Then, Elly got up to go to work. Kate went to visit Jos van Essen, who was a great footballer. Both  of them were sad about Max's death, but Jos said it in a way that made it sound like there was nothing more to say. After ringing Jos' doorbell, Kate went to de Pijp, where Max's body had been found. She got into a coffee shop and made friend with Bert. In the evening, Kate had dinner with Elly. Elly told her that Joss de Vries, who in charge of Max's case, found Max's killer, because the team found Max's wallet in killer's apartment. Then, Kate called to Balzano, he was yelled at her that she didn't get the news about the killer had been found, but Kate told him that wasn't true. When Kate backed at the hotel, she got a message from Bert. She called to him and promised to give him money. Bert told her there's someone know what happen to Max. But, Kate thought Bert was lying. The next day, she took train to Rotterdam to meet Max's brother Tom Carson.She met him at club office. They talked about Max and report of football team, and also visited the Carson Football School. Back to Amsterdam, Kate went to the library to surf some information and found that there's someone called Martijn Christiaans buy up the club. She headed for finding Martijn, but missed. Back to the hotel, she got a letter from no-name, but it seemed a good message. Then, she called to Jos and they would go to see the match. When she went out for a walk, she was attacked but she struck back to them and ran back to her hotel. The day after, Kate went to see Ronnie for help. He told her about the Amsterdam Connection. She talked to Joss about the Amsterdam Connection and the guy wasn't the killer. But, he didn't believe it. Kate had to get hold of some evidence.
Reflection:
     I admire that Kate was brave to face so many strangers and thought clearly like a detective. She was also bright because she talked to many people in different ways. I know that the title of the book is a name of syndicate, maybe it related to the shares of the football team. Though the story makes me scared at the begin, now it is the climax I expect to know who is the killer.
