'A clever mystery full of tension but also humour and compassion. George Cross is becoming one
of my favourite detectives.' ELLY GRIFFITHS 'I am insanely in love with George Cross.' STEPHEN
FRY To find a murderer you need a motive . . . THE CASE DS George Cross is called to
investigate when the body of a monk is found savagely beaten in a woodland near Bristol. THE
QUESTION Nothing is known about Brother Dominic's past. How can Cross unpick a crime when he
doesn't know anything about the victim? And why would someone want to harm a monk? THE PAST
They learn that Brother Dominic had no enemies - or at least none that are obvious. But his
past reveals that he was once a wealthy man that he sacrificed it all for his faith. For a man
who has nothing it seems strange that greed could be the motive for his murder. But greed is a
sin after all... Perfect for fans of M.W. Craven Peter James and Joy Ellis The Monk is part
of the DS George Cross thriller series which can be read in any order. 'In DS George Cross
Tim Sullivan has created a character who is as endearing as any I've ever come across in this
genre. His quirks are his gift and with Sullivan's tremendous plotting and superb writing
this series is a gift to readers.' Liz Nugent 'The ultimate conjuring trick: an absorbing plot
with an engaging detective I'd follow to the ends of the earth. Just brilliant!' Marion Todd 'A
brilliantly old-school detective with a modern twist . . . from the complex emotion of his
private life to the razor-sharp detail of the police investigation. Spot on!' Russ Thomas 'Tim
Sullivan's detective DS George Cross is autistic. His approach to investigations is
unorthodox.he works surprisingly well as a fictional character processing clues in a way that
recalls Poirot's little grey cells.' Sunday Times 'Another tour de force. If you're looking for
a great crime series you can't do much better than this. George Cross is an absolute delight.'
Bishop Stortford Independent Why readers love George Cross . . . 'Compelling full of twists
and turns I couldn't put this down. Sullivan has created a truly original and endearing
detective in George Cross.' Simon McCleave 'DS George Cross is as arresting as the cases he
solves.' Richard E Grant 'The fact that Cross has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder
makes him just as intriguing as the murder mystery' The Times 'A British detective for the 21st
century who will be hard to forget' Daily Mail 'Can't wait for the next in the series!' Reader
