Pension plans and small-town mayhem
Bungling Chief Inspector Nigel Cockett was about to retire, when a corpse turned up in the holding cell of his own police station. And just because he was the only person who had the key to the lock-up in his possession he became the main suspect. This wouldn't do at all; time to ask Daisy Hayes, the greatest victim of his bungling, to help him clear his name.
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.
