Pierre Decock

Pierre Decock (born August 19, 1959 in Belgium), is a Luxembourg historian, writer, comic draftsman, illustrator, painter, computer scientist and financial adviser.

He has lived and worked in Luxembourg since 1985 and became a citizen in 2003. He writes in French language.

Decock began his career as a historian. He published articles on the “Dame blanche”, a secret network in the First World War. In 1985, Decock settled in Luxembourg as a computer scientist and financial adviser. He illustrated some publications and drew comics. His first novel, Toccata, is similar to The Da Vinci Code, with an original composition of Bach playing a central role. The story is set in Luxembourg and in Baden-Württemberg. In 2008 Toccata received the “Reader prize of the Greater Region” (Prix des lecteurs de la Grande-région).

His second novel, De Profundis, sets the young Luxembourg policeman João Da Costa Rebelo after a serial killer.
