Daisy's escape from a favela maze
In 1952 there were children everywhere. Or so it seemed to Daisy Hayes, blind since birth, who at the age of 29 had just tied the knot for the second time—to an intercontinental pilot. But on their first flight as a married couple an engine broke down—sabotage?—and they were grounded.
Now, there are worse places to stop over for repairs than Rio de Janeiro, especially if you’re staying at a grand hotel on Ipanema Beach. But then again, Daisy wouldn’t be our favourite blind sleuth if during her stay she hadn’t stumbled on a murderous plot that exposed her to mortal dangers.
Groping around in the dark, she found her exceptional mind pitted against that of an arch-criminal, and with her usual courage she tried to foil a devilish conspiracy that spanned three continents and threatened the very existence of the most innocent and vulnerable victims.
“A Super Constellation, Rio de Janeiro at its best and at its worst, a Chinese brainteaser and T. S. Eliot’s ‘The waste Land’. Mix and shake. That is Nick Aaron’s astonishing recipe for yet another unconventional tale.” — The Weekly Banner
This 58k novel is a stand-alone Blind Sleuth Mystery
An unusual sleuth Daisy Hayes was born in London in 1922. Her father was a bank manager, hoping for a son, but he had to settle for a blind daughter.
Now what do you do when your child is blind since birth and you have the means to do all that is necessary to help her? You hire a private tutor to stimulate her verbal development in the first years of her life, because you realize how vital language will become for her. Then you send her to an exclusive school where everything is done to develop the minds and resourcefulness of blind girls. There they teach them all these fancy techniques of spatial orientation and mind mapping. And before you know it, your darling daughter has developed an exceptional intellect that just seems to draw murder mysteries like a magnet…
In combination with this unusual sleuth, Nick Aaron enlists the techniques of the page-turner to create an enjoyable reading experience: well-written prose, clever plots, and surprising characters. Unputdownable.
