Puppet on a Chain

Полицейское расследование распространения наркотиков — долгое дело. Нет смысла в аресте мелких распространителей, курьеров и охранников, если организаторы преступного бизнеса останутся в стороне.

Едва ступив на голландскую землю, майор Интерпола Пол Шерман становится свидетелем убийства своего агента. Важная информация потеряна. Убийцы скрылись. Добро пожаловать в Амстердам!
