“The Flying Dutchman”?

Don’t know if you are Dutch, but the dutch title is” neem het over” by H.J.E. van der Kop. Bought my copy for 0,50€ at a fleamarket.

Hi Balders54,

Can’t check to be certain, as my copy is buried somewhere amongst loads of other books at the back of the spare room, but that I think the same book went under the title of “The Flying Dutchman” (Or Dutchmen?) in English.

Cheers
