SOMEONE'S ABOUT TO TURN THEIR LAST PAGE...
'One of my favourite detectives.' ELLY GRIFFITHS ‘These are must-read detective novels.’ MARK BILLINGHAM
THE SETTING
The body of a bookseller is discovered, lying in a pool of blood in his Bristol bookshop. Police have one question: how did the man meet such a violent, murderous end in this peaceful place?
THE CONFLICT
DS Cross’s ability to dismiss red herrings is challenged by a worrying development in his personal life.
Hopelessly distracted, he needs to rely on those around him in a way he has never been comfortable doing before.
THE MURDER PLOT
It may be a quiet profession, but it’s full of passionate, ambitious characters who know the value of a rare book. Their extensive reading means they also know how to get away with murder.
But is that enough to fool the tenacious DS George Cross? Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Peter James and Joy Ellis, this is the seventh book in the bestselling series, which can be read in any order. Readers love George Cross . . .
'George Cross is an absolute one-off... the detective's detective.' JEREMY VINE 'Every generation has its iconic detective — Holmes, Poirot and Morse — but Cross is emerging as the one for now.
