Private turtoring is booming and someone’s making a killing. 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 have something to hide, as 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.
