Early and Personal Life

Born in 1961 on the 6th of September, Toni Coppers managed to harness his love and passion for the written word from a very early age. Raised in the area of Sint-Truiden in Belgium, he would continue to grow as an author, allowing him to effectively raise him and his profile in the process. Writing exactly what it was that he wanted to write about he would continue his learning throughout his time spent in education.

He would also go on to work at ‘Radio 1’, which is a Flemish public broadcast station, as he would work as a travel journalist there. This would not allow him to see much of the world and increase his wealth of experience to draw from, but it would also allow him to gain an understanding of writing for a large audience.

Writing Career

Moving on from his career in broadcast travel journalism, Toni Copper would take to writing fictional work as a full-time writer for himself.

In 2016 Toni Copper would also go on to create the series ‘Coppers’, which would also feature Liese Meerhout, as she was adapted for the television.

Winning numerous awards and critical acclaim, this is something that he is expected to continue for a long time yet.

Niets is ooit

Released through the ‘Manteau’ publishing label, this would first be published in the year of 2008 in the month of April. Setting up the ‘Inspector Liese Meerhout’ line of novels, this would introduce the inspector for the very first time as well.

In this fun and inventive novel the reader is ostensibly taken into the world of one Chief Inspector Liese Meerhout, getting an insight into her line of work. Focused on the world of art crime, she manages to take the reader into an otherwise unseen world as well, taking them on a journey of sorts. Always managing to get the job done, she is a driven and hard-working inspector, one that really understands what needs doing. This progresses over the course of the series as well, with a lot of foreshadowing and world-building effectively managed here too.

Getting to the heart of the matter, she sets about solving the case of a murder, as the father of a communications adviser has been killed. This leads to a series of questions, all seeking answers to an otherwise complex and difficult to solve case filled with lies and deceit. Working in the world of art crime, the stakes are high, as it seems that there has been some forgery of some highly sought after African art. Will she manage to get to the bottom of the case and solve it? Can she find out who the real killer is and what they want? What happens when nothing is ever?
