A corpse found floating in the ocean
During a short stint as a masseuse on an ocean liner, Daisy Hayes had to deal once again with an impossible crime. A corpse was found floating on the open ocean ahead of the RMS Histria. The ship came to a lumbering halt and a lifeboat was sent out to retrieve the dead body. It turned out to be the remains of one of the first-class passengers.
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.
