The Long Wapper and the Dead Woman
The controversial plans for the construction of a gigantic viaduct above Antwerp, which led to a referendum, form the fictional background for this political thriller. A story of abuse of power and corruption, in which the political world and the industrial powers associated with it are central. In this dangerous web of greed, lust for power and conceit, journalist Filip Ickx and Baroness Elvire van Tilt de Jonker investigate the death of an ally. They will experience that they are dealing with enormous interests and unscrupulous opponents, for whom a human life is of no importance. The recent decision of the Flemish government has made the problem of the Oosterweel connection particularly topical again. The exciting thriller 'De Lange Wapper en de dode vrouw' could hardly have appeared at a better time.
