About
A compulsive and dark thriller for fans of A.J. Finn and B A Paris.
A cop needs to know what a child wants to forget . . .
When a boarding master at an exclusive boys' school is shot dead, it appears to be accidental. Not thinking much of it, Cardilini, a detective with a bad reputation, is sent to write up the report.
Riled up by the privileged arrogance of the pupils at the school, Cardilini does not cooperate, deciding it's time to use his instincts. Despite no real evidence, he declares the death a murder. But as his investigation deepens and dark secrets are uncovered, Cardilini finds himself fighting against the powerful elite of the school.
Cardilini is determined to bring justice to the victim, but is his pursuit helpful or harmful to those most affected by the death? Robert Jeffreys worked as an actor, teacher, builder, real estate agent, personal security agent and playwright of the professionally produced stage plays Cox Four, Covert, The Simple Truth and The Messenger. ABC Radio National featured his radio plays Covert (which received an AWGIE award) and Bodily Harm. He also published a poetry anthology, Frame of Mind. Robert's first novel, Man at the Window (Book 1 in the Detective Cardilini series), was published in 2018. Robert sadly passed away in 2019, while working on the final draft of Book 2 in the series, The Final Cut. The manuscript was completed by his wife, Rosalba Jeffreys. Man at the Window is the first book in the Detective Cardilini series: an atmospheric and unforgettable crime novel with a burning moral dilemma at its heart Comparison titles include The Dry by Jane Harper - detective sleuth, atmosphere, rural; Chain of Evidence by Garry Disher - strong characters, similar subject matter; The Drowning Man by Michael Robotham - mystery with psychological elements; and Michael Connolly's Harry Bosch series. Appealing main character, a detective with a chance to redeem himself Tension from the central dilemma keeps you turning the pages - 'whodunit?' mixed with 'should they really get caught?'
