Synopsis
Victor Dreisen, a lazy assistant researcher at the Amsterdam Institute for Folk Culture, inherits a cottage from a forgotten uncle near the village of Koekange in the province of Drenthe. It is a region of spooky fen lands, misty canals and silent men. So he submits a proposal to his boss for a research project into local songs that describe murders from the past. When he settles down in the derelict house, he soon finds out how every hamlet has its own murder to sing about. He meets Geesje, a young woman who knows a large number of murder songs off by heart. His scientific principles are soon in danger. When Dreisen finds out that his own cottage was the scene of a triple murder around 1920, he becomes entangled with an increasingly hostile and mysterious community.
