Myra
van Dijk was a criminologist who lived in a very recognizable Amsterdam
in the sixties. It was a time Shocking Blue was on the turntables and The
Cats played in nightclubs and smoking wasn't lethal. Myra
drove a DAF, a Dutch car which doesn't exists anymore, could be tough as well
as tender and was a trained and athletic girl. She never waited for
arguments or disputes or little attacks against her to grow big and
out of hand but usually settled things fast with her famous flying kick.
She herself called these defensive actions a 'front snap kick', a term
used in the fighting sport Tea-Kwon-Do.
Her father was a detective by the Amsterdam police and because of
her profession and her father's they often worked together solving crime. |
