A DS George Cross Mystery
by Tim Sullivan
Read enough, and you'll learn how to get away with murder.
Detective Sergeant George Cross has a knack for dismissing red herrings: He goes by the cold hard facts, and nothing else. But with a concerning development in his personal life, Cross is hopelessly distracted. He needs to rely on those around him: an entirely foreign concept.
When the body of a bookseller is discovered lying in a pool of blood in his Bristol bookshop, the police have one question: How did the man meet such a violent, murderous end in this peaceful place?
Bookselling may be a quiet profession, but it's full of ambitious characters who know the value of a rare book and the importance of careful plotting. With their extensive reading, they might know enough to get away with murder. But will book learning be enough to fool the tenacious DS George Cross?
"Sullivan's highly readable series continues to resist becoming formulaic as he puts his meticulous detective's personal life on the front burner from the very beginning ... the intricate mystery and well-crafted dialogue should also prompt new readers to dive in to previous installments. A series that continues to set the standard in police procedurals." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
