About this audiobook
A popular teacher and boarding master, renowned for his gossip, is found dead in his bed. He teaches at a private school and has a strong following of students and teachers, despite his being gay. It is the 1980s when homosexuality is still not fully accepted, nor is the increase of women teachers at this boys' school. Jim Cameron, the deputy headmaster of St Cuthbert's, joins forces with Detective Alan Stone, a Kiwi, to solve the mystery of the teacher's death.
