Summary
Introducing your new crime thriller fix: Bristol detective DS George Cross, champion of the outsider, the voiceless and the dispossessed.
DS George Cross can be rude, difficult and awkward with people. But his unfailing logic and relentless pursuit of justice means his conviction rate is the best on the force. When a ravaged body is found in a local demolition site, it is up to Cross to piece together the truth from whatever fragments he can find.
The demolition began at dawn. Walls knocked over. Twisted pipes uprooted. Window frames smashed. A dead body unearthed....
DS Cross has little to go on, but from the faint tan lines on the body and strange scars on his forearms, an identity gradually emerges: a young man, an amateur cyclist, a supply of performance-enhancing drugs. But what led this man to his death? Cross mounts an investigation that will uncover jealousy, ambition and a family tearing itself apart - an investigation that could cost him his career....

Another great read by Tim Sullivan
I enjoyed this book as much as The Dentist with excellent narration and all of its twists and turns. I love the steady style and the humour surrounding Crosses attempts to comply with acceptable norms.

Brilliant!
Loved it! George is becoming one of my favourite detectives and im now fully invested in him.
One of the reviews left complains about excessive use of swearing. I didnt think there was much swearing at all, and when it was used, it was in keeping with the character.
I really love the narrator and his voice suits Cross. Im now off to buy book 3!
Keep them coming!

Detective Sergeant George Cross blinkered rational and single minded determination gets results again
This being the second novel about DS Cross I’m utterly hooked.the narration is perfect.
No spoilers but I love the pace of the story the intricate attention to detail that the George has due to his Aspergers syndrome.
if only this could be true and not fiction.
I hope there are police personnel who are just like him.
I think these novels would make a really good tv series. Come on Amazon!
and remember not everyone who is on the spectrum is like George.
It’s a spectrum after all.
Side note- my sons have Asperger’s and have some similar traits to Each other but ultimately are like chalk and cheese.
(now , saying that phrase would wind George up ! Wouldn’t it.)

Finally a new series I like
Original and entertaining, I didn't want to miss a word of the story, and I was guessing until the end

Surprisingly good
I was dubious about another detective story featuring a main character with a back story that made it unlikely they would have a police career but found this manifestation to be just about acceptable. The story is excellent,the procedure pretty solid right down to the effect austerity has had on police work. The tale pushes the believability boundary but just stays onside resulting in a thoroughly entertaining read. I will definitely be buying the rest of the series.

Another satisfying read ! ( audio )
I’m truly enjoying this series ! DS Cross as always , sees beyond the obvious - even though it drives some of his team ( and superiors) to distraction 😁
I’m enjoying the glimpses into his personal life and relationships as well .
Can recommend these books ( I will add that this one had more swearing than others , but it fitted the characters 🫤)
I have a couple of ‘ must reads ‘ in my library …..but - they will have to wait till I’ve finished these books !

Love the character
I love the George Cross series but am now finding them a bit repetitive and need the situation to move on a bit but understand that people with Asperger’s like the same patterns so I suppose it’s unlikely!
