Blind Angel of Wrath (The Blind Sleuth Mysteries)

1967 in Swinging London. The Beatles had just released Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. At Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park the hippies staged sit-ins to legalize marijuana. And even though she was blind since birth, it did not escape Daisy Hayes' attention that "The times they are a-changin'..." But just as she reached middle-age and the height of her powers as an artist, Daisy was visited by a ghost from her past. An accomplice in an old story of revenge appeared at the opening of her new sculpture exhibition and made demands she could not ignore. The man who challenged her was a desperate father, who told Daisy that his fifteen-year-old daughter--a hippie girl--had disappeared without a trace a year before. The police was powerless, or indifferent, or both. "You must help me to find her, Daisy Hayes. And you know why I'm asking you? It's because I happen to know that you're a real killer..." "Nick Aaron has been known to write a fast-paced tale or two. But here fast-paced is not 'le mot juste'. This thriller is designed like a roller coaster, and the author will take you for a hair-raising ride." -- The Weekly Banner This is the third volume of The Daisy Hayes Trilogy: I D for Daisy II Blind Angel of Wrath III Daisy and Bernard Warning: a trilogy always has the disadvantage (?) that you have to read three books in the right order. On the other hand, each of these has a beginning, a middle and an end, and could be read on its own if you're willing to miss out on the dramatic arc of the whole. This trilogy as a whole is a story of crime, punishment, and redemption, and at the same time a portrait of the twentieth century as witnessed by one remarkable blind woman. In the first volume Daisy Hayes is between 16 and 27, and she takes us along with her through World War II. The second volume brings us to the Swinging Sixties, Daisy is then 44. And finally in the third book she's 66 and it is 1989, the year the Berlin wall came down. Dear Daisy would have been born in 1922 and would probably be dead by now, or alternatively, still alive and kicking in her 90s.
