There was nothing Daisy Hayes loved more than going places, even though she was totally blind. And travel she did in her long and eventful life; being married to an intercontinental pilot for many years helped a bit. But not being able to see a place does not mean you cannot get to know local life quite well, especially when you seem to attract trouble like a magnet. So here are three of our blind sleuth's most exciting and exotic adventures.

First Spring in Paris: In 1946 Daisy and her friend Beatrice moved to Paris, where very interesting things were going on, like the existentialist scene in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. But just as they were settling into a new life, a very disturbing murder case was thrown in their path, and Daisy had to rise to the challenge as never before.

Honeymoon in Rio: In 1952, newly wed to a pilot, Daisy took off to South America on her honeymoon. But an engine of the Super Constellation her husband was flying broke down: was it sabotage? They were grounded in Rio for repairs, and soon uncovered a murderous plot. In the end Daisy's very life was threatened by an elusive arch-criminal.

Berlin Fall: In 1972 Daisy had a patient who worked for MI6. And she was planning to visit Berlin with her friend Margery, a scientist. Without even knowing it Marge had a connection to a high-ranking communist party boss... Unwittingly the two ladies got mixed up in a spy plot that did not turn out the way the spymasters on both sides of the Wall had envisioned.
