Private Lessons by Bernard O'keeffe
An Autumnal Sunday morning, a hungover jogger stumbles across a dead body, covered in blood, in Barnes Old Common Cemetery, a long-abandoned Gothic graveyard frequented by druggies and drunkards. The victim has spent the summer working in Italy for the wealthy Rivetti family, who appear to have something to hide, as too do his bosses at the high-end Forum Tutorial Agency. And, why are his old friends, who he d been partying with the night before, quite so reticent when questioned? Enter D I Garibaldi, the Met s only non-driving, country music loving detective. His first step, to unravel the complex workings of the private tuition company, the Forum Agency.
A new detective hero; charismatic, erudite and full of dry humour'- Celia Anderson. 'DI Garibaldi takes the biscuit - my kind of detective in my part of London. Ingenious, entertaining, surprising - everything you want in a satisfying murder mystery'. - Gyles Brandreth. 'It's a job for DI Garibaldi, likeable country music-loving copper. A fine, twisting mystery, though the real pleasure lies in seeing Garibaldi dismantle the murderous self-interest of the London upper-middle classes' - Mail on Sunday Best New Fiction. 'An ingenious page-turner'. - Daily Mail
