Guy Faulkner grew up below stairs on a private estate in the Cotswolds. As the housekeeper's son, he had the best seat in the house for watching how it really worked.
His mother was a seamstress of rare skill. She dressed the four-poster beds that the master of the house restored, and she hung curtains in some of London's finest homes, so Guy learnt early that grand houses keep their secrets behind very good fabric. She could feed a hundred from a standing start, or two from whatever was left in the pantry. She also turned a stretch of scrubland into a garden spoken of among the best in England.
The lady of the house, once a concert pianist, taught him English and music. He kept the English.
He drove his first tractor at ten and has trusted machines ever since, because they tell you what is wrong if you listen. People take longer.
He still lives in the Cotswolds. His first novel, The Blasberg Files, introduces Max Sandbrook, a former North London detective turned private investigator. The next Max Sandbrook mystery is in the works.
The Blasberg Files
A Max Sandbrook Mystery, Book 1
Ten years ago, one case ended his career.
Now it's back.
Max Sandbrook was once one of the Met's fastest-rising detective inspectors. Then came the Finch murder: no weapon, no answers, and a disciplinary board that stripped him of his warrant card. Ten years on, he's a private investigator working from his front room.
When he's asked to find Dr Karl Blasberg, a quiet chemist who left home late at night with a holdall and told no one where he was going, it looks like a routine missing-persons job.
It isn't. Blasberg's disappearance leads Max back to the case that ruined him, and to the powerful men who made sure it stayed buried. Someone is prepared to kill to keep it that way.
This time, Max isn't letting go.
