Murder By Cunningworth

Eight murder cases. Eight worlds. One man who sees what others miss. Leroy Cunningworth is not a detective by profession. He is a retired barrister and fine art restorer, living quietly on Phillip Island. But his trained eye — honed to detect what has been altered, removed, or concealed – makes him uniquely suited to a different kind of restoration: the truth behind murder. In this compelling collection of eight standalone murder mysteries, Leroy moves from the rarefied world of international art to the high-pressure theatre of Formula One, from the rituals of Bali to the shadows of Cold War intrigue across Europe. Each case is self-contained. Each presents a world carefully constructed to hide what really happened. A senator murdered in Washington. A massacre in Berlin. A quiet death in Munich — connected by a single unseen hand. A billionaire found dead in a steam room, followed days later by a second death in water. A masterpiece altered to conceal a crime. A scene so perfectly staged that only its perfection gives it away. In every case, someone has tried to present a cleaned, edited version of events. Leroy's life's work is uncovering what was there before. Elegant, intelligent, and international in scope, The Leroy Cunningworth Murder Mysteries combine classic crime storytelling with a modern, global edge. This Volume 1 box set brings together eight complete murder mysteries in one collection – the perfect introduction to Leroy Cunningworth.
