Abstract
The paper examined two recent examples of British crime fiction which take place in the Netherlands, David Hewson’s Detective Pieter Vos series (2015-present) and Jake Woodhouse’s Jaap Rykel Amsterdam Quartet (2015-present). and argued that not only the authors employ stereotypical portrayal of places and characters to establish contrast between the local and global identities, but also that this portrayal relies strongly on the centre-periphery model, both within the country itself and in its relationship to other nations.
