Don't miss THE BOOKSELLER the latest George Cross Mystery - available now. No fingerprints.
No weapon. No witnesses. Can DS Cross prove it was murder? THE DETECTIVE DS George Cross
doesn't rely on guesswork and he has no time for false assumptions. He is a detective who goes
off the evidence in front of him not 'hunches' or 'gut feelings'. He does not know what these
are. THE CLOSED CASE When a young woman is found dead the Bristol Crime Unit is quick to
rule it a suicide as the woman had a long history of drug abuse. But her mother is convinced it
was murder saying that her daughter had been clean for years and had been making strides in a
new therapy programme. THE ANSWER As an outsider himself DS Cross is drawn to cases
involving the voiceless and dispossessed and here the evidence states that this woman was
murdered - Cross just has to prove it. But under pressure from his boss to shut down the case
and with numerous potential suspects time is rapidly running out to get the answers that this
grieving family deserve. Perfect for fans of MW Craven Ann Cleeves and Joy Ellis The
