Inspiration: 

The death of a teacher who committed suicide at a Dutch school caused a small discussion in the media. A solid base for a mysterious mini thriller. Instead of a short story, it became a full length thriller.

For full details and inspiration see Taylor & Balon # 1 'Deteached'.

In this second book a few new characters appear. Duncan Bradley is named in honor of actor Michael Clarke Duncan, best known as John Coffey in 'The Green Mile' and Charles Bradley, a great singer with an unexceptional, too short, career.
