‘A tidy plot.’ - Mail on Sunday

Jack Lilburne, governor of Conyhall Young Offenders’ Institution, is generally regarded as a pillar of his community.

He has a respectable job, a beautiful house and a close-knit family – and he’s recently been awarded an OBE.

So it’s shocking and puzzling to everyone, not least Superintendent Gil Mayo and the rest of the Lavenstock police force, when Jack is killed by a car bomb on his own front drive.

Initially, it seems that several of the ex-inmates with whom Jack worked could be suspects.

Soon, however, it becomes clear that there’s more to the case than a young offender with a straightforward grudge against the governor.

When a second victim is discovered, similarities to a historical murder case become obvious.

In order to solve the investigation Mayo and his team realize that they will have to dig deep into Jack Lilburne’s surprisingly shadowy past…

A Death of Distinction is an expertly plotted detective mystery that is perfect for fans of Peter James and Ian Rankin.
