Description

Behind every mask lies a killer truth.

Mick Jagger. Bob Dylan. Paul McCartney. David Bowie. Debbie Harry. They’re icons. Legends. And together they form the ultimate supergroup – The Okay Boomers. It’s quite some band and it’s quite incredible to see them playing the Bull’s Head in Barnes on a Sunday night.

But all is not as it seems. Hiding behind lifelike masks are five local celebrities. Desperate to keep their identities secret, they are all unmasked when a body is discovered in the lead singer’s garden the morning after their post-gig party.

Who is the victim? Why was he wearing the lead singer’s Mick Jagger mask? And why have all the other masks disappeared?

Enter DI Garibaldi, a poetry aficionado with a penchant for country music and the Met’s sole non-driving detective. As he investigates the five members of The Okay Boomers – a fading rom-com heartthrob, a high-profile comedian, a controversial TV pundit, a popular poet, and a national treasure –  one thing becomes clear: behind every mask lies a killer truth.

Bernard OÕKeeffe worked in advertising before becoming an English teacher, most recently at St PaulÕs School in London. The first three titles in the D I Garibaldi series are: The Final Round, 2021, Private Lessons, 2023, and Every Trick in the Book 2024. He lives in leafy Barnes where the series is set.
