While I Have Pedro

Crime fiction: He’s been charged with murder, and police suspect he is the serial arsonist who has been torching Melbourne’s churches. But Red Coltrane, an intellectually and physically challenged man living in supported accommodation, is determined to find the arsonist and stop the fires. To do that, he will need to rely on the one person he’s sure won’t let him down, his long-term carer and hero, Pedro. Reminiscent of Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, this book will resonate long after you have finished reading it. Though a crime fiction book, the genre allows the reader to engage with bigger questions than just whodunit
