Second-guessing a double agenda
In 1972 Daisy had a patient who worked for MI6. And she was planning to visit East Berlin with her friend Margery, a chemistry researcher at King’s College. Without knowing it Marge had a connection to a high-ranking communist party boss. A complex plot ensued… and ‘Operation Berlin Fall’ did not go as the spymasters on both sides of the Wall had planned.
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.
