Janwillem van de Wetering, born in the Netherlands and long resident in the United States, wrote each of his crime novels in two versions – Dutch and English. The versions can sometimes differ significantly. Hence a curious feature of his translation history – sometimes two versions exist in a given language, one translated from Dutch and the other from English.
