'When a boarding master at an exclusive boys’ school is shot dead, it is deemed accidental. The usually drunk and lazy Detective Cardilini becomes riled by the arrogance of those involved. With no real evidence, he declares the shooting a murder and puts himself on a collision course with the powerful and elite of Perth. As he peels back layers, the school’s dark secrets begin to emerge. An atmospheric crime novel with a burning moral dilemma at its heart— the first in a series set in 1960s Western Australia.'
