Who could want to kill the newly retired teacher? Investigations bring them to St Jude’s, the prestigious private school where Ballantyne taught, and to the discovery that Ballantyne had been blackmailing several of his colleagues. Sex. Money. Drugs. It seems that Ballantyne knew all about his victims’ secrets, and they were prepared to pay to buy his silence. Is one of the St Jude’s staff the killer? And, if so, which one? DI Moriarty’s on the case, and he’s soon discovering that nothing is quite as it seems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo runs the blurb of \u003cem\u003eSchooled in Murder\u003c\/em\u003e, a crime novel written by Ben Joseph, who is found dead in Barnes Pond the morning after giving a talk as part of the Barnes Book Festival. DI Garibaldi and his team are shocked to discover that the writer has been killed in exactly the same place, and in exactly the same way, as the victim in \u003cem\u003eSchooled in Murder\u003c\/em\u003e.

How much of Allerton’s own life, and the lives of those he knew, had he put into his novel? And could the clue to the killer’s identity lie in its pages?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072504709356,"sku":"9781739471606","price":24.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8703533482807.jpg?v=1765114459"},{"product_id":"the-masked-band-by-bernard-okeeffe-9781738452880","title":"The Masked Band","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut all is not as it seems.
