The Icarus Case
Meer oor hierdie oudioboek
While Daisy and Darren roamed the countryside around Bottomleigh House in their faithful little car, they chanced upon a small airfield called Gremian Hill, which caught their fancy at once. They were told by members of the local parachuting club that a blind person or a paraplegic too could skydive, and they became regulars to find out more.
But soon tragedy struck, a parachute failed to open and one of their new friends fell to her death under suspicious circumstances. What’s more, the chutes were kept under lock and key in a special shed, so sabotage seemed impossible.
Time for our blind sleuth to tackle this locked-room mystery, and when another member of the Icarus Skydiving Club fell to her death and the press started talking about a serial killer, it became even more urgent to uncover the truth.

Meer oor die skrywer
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.
