Daisy's escape from a favela maze
In 1952 Daisy Hayes, occasional sleuth and newly wed to a pilot, took off to South America on her honeymoon. Then an engine of the Super Constellation her husband was flying broke down: was it sabotage? They were grounded in Rio for repairs, and Daisy uncovered a murderous plot, her exceptional mind pitted against that of an elusive arch-criminal.
Nick Aaron is Dutch, but he was born in South Africa (1956), where he attended a British-style boarding school, in Pietersburg, Transvaal. Later he lived in Lausanne (Switzerland), in Rotterdam, Luxembourg and Belgium. He worked for the European Parliament as a printer and proofreader. Currently he's retired and lives in Malines.
Recently, after writing in Dutch and French for many years, the author went back to the language of his mid-century South African childhood. A potential global readership was the incentive; the trigger was the character of Daisy Hayes, who asserted herself in his mind wholly formed.
