‘Getting Away With Murder’ is an intense, exciting and highly original story about how blame is attributed, revenge fervently sought, justified, planned and finally carried out. This ruthless pursuit for revenge leads to the total unravelling of a mind in the process. This is an extremely black murder mystery, with a compelling examination of the killer’s inner thoughts. The ultimate twist is that the murder is planned with the help of the police. After spending thirty years as a graphic designer and a technical writer, Barry turned his hand to writing short stories, before creating a crime trilogy about the detective Robert Steele. ‘Getting Away With Murder’ is the first book in the trilogy of Robert Steele detective stories.
